4.9/5 (19066 ratings)

Description:The first narrative history of the Civil War told by the very people it freedGroundbreaking, compelling, and poignant, The Slavesâ€™ War delivers an unprecedented vision of the nationâ€™s bloodiest conflict. An acclaimed historian of nineteenth-century and African-American history, Andrew Ward gives us the first narrative of the Civil War told from the perspective of those whose destiny it decided. Woven together from hundreds of interviews, diaries, letters, and memoirs, here is the Civil War as seen from not only battlefields, capitals, and camps, but also slave quarters, kitchens, roadsides, farms, towns, and swamps. Speaking in a quintessentially American language of wit, candor, and biblical power, army cooks and launderers, runaways, teamsters, and gravediggers bring the war to vivid life. From slavesâ€™ theories about the causes of the war to their frank assessments of such major figures as Lincoln, Davis, Lee, and Grant; from their searing memories of the carnage of battle to their often startling attitudes toward masters and liberators alike; and from their initial jubilation at the Yankee invasion of the slave South to the crushing disappointment of freedomâ€™s promise unfulfilled, The Slavesâ€™ War is a transformative and engrossing vision of Americaâ€™s Second Revolution.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
