Description

|
|
|
This book gathers stirring, unabridged testimonies from many African Americans during the Civil War era, including slaves who endured their last years of servitude before being liberated, soldiers who fought for the freedom of their brethren and for equal rights, and reporters who covered the defeat of the slaveholding society. Among these voices are abolitionist Frederick Douglass on the meaning of the war; Martin Delany on his meeting with Lincoln to gain permission to raise an army of African Americans; and Susie King Taylor on her life as laundress and nurse to a Union regiment in the deep South. Here too are Elizabeth Keckley, Mary Todd Lincoln's seamstress, on Abraham Lincoln's journey to Richmond after its fall; Elijah Marrs on rising from slave to Union sergeant while fighting in Kentucky; and letters from black soldiers to black newspapers.
