Incorporating the most recent scholarship, this thematically organized book does justice to the richness of its subject, looking at the lives of blacks in the Confederate states and the nonseceding Southern states; at blacks on farms and plantations and in towns and cities; at blacks employed in industry and the military; and at black men, women, and children. Drawing on memoirs, autobiographies, and other original source materials, the author details the experiences of blacks who took up residence in Union "contraband camps" and on free-labor plantations and those who enlisted in the Union army. He introduces individuals who escaped from slavery, as well as the small minority of Southern blacks who were free when the war began. Most significantly, this revealing study deals not only with those who gained freedom during the war, but those whose freedom came only after the conflict's end. 650 0 $a African Americans $z Southern States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Slaves $z Southern States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Slavery $z Southern States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Slaves $x Emancipation $z Southern States. 650 0 $a Plantation life $z Southern States $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Southern States $x Social conditions $y 19th century. 830 0 $a Reflections on the Civil War era. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825054219.0 952 $l OIAX792 $d 20120410010702.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E4BB5CCA376E11E1999191C06AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
