The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The parallels between the Patriot movement and the movement to free slaves were that the Patriots fought to get the independence from the English crown due to the many injustices they were suffering such as the heavy taxation imposed by the English government and the fact that the 13 colonies did not have any voice or representation in the British Parliament. In the case of the movement of free slaves, African Americans also were demanding their freedom. They were treated like animals, exploited by powerful southern landlords that forced them to work from the wee hours until late at night to produce the crops that had to be traded and exported.
