Freedom''s Soldiers - The Black Military Experience in the Civil War

When nearly 200,000 black men, mostly former slaves, entered the Civil War, they transformed it into a struggle for liberty and changed the course of American history. Freedom's Soldiers tells those men's story in their words and those of eyewitnesses. These letters, affidavits, and memorials reveal the variety and complexity of the African-American experience during the era of emancipation.
