The Slaves' War: The Civil War in the Words of Former Slaves
I read Battle Cry of Freedom several months ago and felt immersed in the politics and battles of the Civil War. It was excellent and comprehensive to say the least. The Slaves' War, though, fills in a gap that was missing-- the point of view of the slaves. This book is told through slave narratives, so the result is a first person account of how the war affected black people as well as their masters who stayed home from the war. I found it fascinating to read the mixed feelings slaves had toward their masters, toward the Yankees, and how they perceived the war as they saw soldiers plunder the plantations and heard rumors of emancipation. It was also heart-breaking to read how the war, as much as any other during slavery it seems, tore apart black families as slaves were "refugeed" to other parts of the south or sold as their masters tried to protect their "property."
