When Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, he also
authorized the army to recruit black soldiers. Nearly 200,000 men
answered the call. Several thousand came from Canada. What
compelled these men to leave the relative comfort and safety of
home to fight in a foreign war? In African Canadians in Union Blue,
Richard Reid sets out in search of an answer and discovers a group
of men whose courage and contributions open a window on the
changing nature of the Civil War and the ties that held black
communities together even as the borders around them shifted and
were torn asunder.
