On the eve of the Civil War, more Afircan-Americans lived in Virginia than in any other state - 490,000 slaves and 59,000 free blacks - and they were active participants in the single most dynamic event to shape the American consciousness. This is the first comprehensive study of Civil War Afro-Virginian history and culture.
