Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from First Days Amongst the Contrabands Why did I first go within the Lines? This question is often asked with the addition, "Tell us about it." The military movements connected with the Civil War are well known. But the great mass of American people know but little, and so think less, of that other great event, - the greatest in the history of the world, - the emancipation of four million human beings held in bondage in the Southern States. A new race was born into freedom, with no preparation or provision for the great change. That this could be accomplished without disintegrating the whole federal government is unprecedented in history. A new generation has come to the front. The men and women who were in active life in 1860 are fast falling out of line. The ranks are broken. But few veterans can now respond to the roll-call. Let us tell our stories before it is too late.
