More about the book

The book delves into the motivations behind African American enlistment in the Civil War, highlighting the urgent political concerns of the era. It contrasts perspectives, with figures like Frederick Douglass advocating for immediate military action to achieve emancipation, while others urged caution based on historical disappointments. This tension reflects a broader struggle for black rights and citizenship, as these men sought to redefine their identities and roles in the fight for freedom and equality.
