Inhalt:
More than 5,000 North Carolina slaves escaped from their white owners to serve in the Union army during the Civil War. This book explores the stories of black soldiers from four regiments raised in North Carolina, providing a new understanding of the spectrum of black experience during and after the war. The book examines the processes by which black men enlisted and were trained, the history of each regiment, the lives of the soldiers' families during the war, and the postwar experiences of the veterans and their families living in an ex-Confederate state.
