A New Birth of Freedom: The Republican Party and Freedmen's Rights,
1861-1866, is an account of how laws, policies and constitutional
amendments defining and protecting the personal liberty and civil
rights of the country's African American population were adopted
during the Civil War. A study in legal and constitutional history,
it complements and forms a necessary predicate to the social
history of emancipation that is the principal focus of contemporary
Civil War scholarship. The relevance of the legal dimension in the
struggle for black freedom is attested by the observation that many
slaves "learned the letter of the law so they could seemingly
recite from memory" passages from congressional measures
prohibiting the return of escaped slaves to disloyal owners and
guaranteeing their personal liberty.
