The Civil War not only brought freedom to slaves, but it also brought military duty for many American blacks at the front lines of the warring armies. The extraordinary and virtually unknown documents in this book - written by slaves and masters, blacks and whites, soldiers and citizens - make vivid the monumental struggles of the 1860s.
