In November 1864, Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman left Atlanta,
Georgia in flames and embarked on his historic Great March from
Atlanta to the Sea. Along the way, he unintentionally liberated
thousands of Black people held as slaves in the Georgia cities and
towns. Some joined the Union lines as hired servants, cooks,
laundresses, teamsters, and pioneers. Others joined "for their
actual freedom." In numbers reaching tens of thousands, they became
Sherman's Fifth Corps, and one of them, a young ex-slave named
Jennie Lewis, became Sherman's mistress. Through actual and
fictional letters, diaries, journals, news accounts, official
reports and for the first time, the words of the ex-slaves
themselves, SFC tells a story of the man and the March that has
never before been told. Sherman's Fifth Corps reconstructs and
imagines what happened when hardened Union soldiers and
newly-liberated Blacks marched across Georgia. They formed an
unplanned, unprecedented alliance that brought the end of the Civil
War, the end of slavery, and, literally, a new birth of freedom for
this country.
