The first book of its kind to appear in a generation, this
comprehensive study details the experiences of the black men,
women, and children who lived in the South during the traumatic
time of secession and civil war. The Black Experience in the Civil
War South is the first comprehensive study of the Southern black
wartime experience to appear in a generation. Incorporating the
most recent scholarship, this thematically organized book does
justice to the richness of its subject, looking at the lives of
blacks in the Confederate states and the nonseceding Southern
states; at blacks on farms and plantations and in towns and cities;
at blacks employed in industry and the military; and at black men,
women, and children. Drawing on memoirs, autobiographies, and other
original source materials, the author details the experiences of
blacks who took up residence in Union "contraband camps" and on
free-labor plantations and those who enlisted in the Union army. He
introduces individuals who escaped from slavery, as well as the
small minority of Southern blacks who were free when the war began.
Most significantly, this revealing study deals not only with those
who gained freedom during the war, but those whose freedom came
only after the conflict's end.
