Historian of nineteenth-century and African-American history Andrew Ward weaves together hundreds of interviews, diaries, letters, and memoirs. Here is the Civil War as seen from slave quarters, kitchens, roadsides, swamps, and fields. Body servants, army cooks and launderers, runaways, teamsters, and gravediggers bring the war to richly detailed life. From slaves' theories about the causes of the Civil War to their frank assessments of major figures; from their searing memories of the carnage of battle to their often startling attitudes toward masters and liberators alike; and from their initial jubilation at the Yankee invasion of the slave South to the crushing disappointment of freedom's promise unfulfilled, this is a transformative vision of America's second revolution.--From publisher description. 000323004 650_0 $$aSlaves$$zSouthern States$$vBiography. 000323004 650_0 $$aFreedmen$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000323004 650_0 $$aAfrican Americans$$vBiography. 000323004 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory$$yCivil War, 1861-1865$$vPersonal narratives. 000323004 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory$$yCivil War, 1861-1865$$xAfrican Americans. 000323004 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory$$yCivil War, 1861-1865$$xSocial aspects. 000323004 85200 $$bgen$$hE464$$i.W29$$i2008 000323004 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:323004$$pGLOBAL_SET 000323004 980__ $$aBIB 000323004 980__ $$aBOOK 000323004 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
