by James M. McPherson

Read a sample Read a sample
In this classic study, Pulitzer Prize-winning author James M. McPherson deftly narrates the experience of blacks—former slaves and soldiers, preachers, visionaries, doctors, intellectuals, and common people—during the Civil War. Drawing on contemporary journalism, speeches, books, and letters, he presents an eclectic chronicle of their fears and hopes as well as their essential contributions to their own freedom. Through the words of these extraordinary participants, both Northern and Southern, McPherson captures African-American responses to emancipation, the shifting attitudes toward Lincoln and the life of black soldiers in the Union army. Above all, we are allowed to witness the dreams of a disenfranchised people eager to embrace the rights and the equality offered to them, finally, as citizens.
