Paying Freedom'S Price: A History Of African Americans In The Civil War (The African American Experience Series)

A History of African Americans and the Civil War provides a comprehensive yet brief and readable history of the role of African Americans--both slave and free--from the decade leading up to the Civil War until its immediate aftermath. Escott argues that African Americans--slaves, free Blacks, civilians, soldiers, men, and women-- played a crucial role in transforming the sectional conflict into a war for black freedom.
