Synopsis "African Americans, Death, and the New Birth of Freedom: Dying Free during the Civil War and Reconstruction (in English)"
In this study the author examines how, in the Civil War-era South, newly freed African Americans used their experiences with death from war, disease, and racial violence to advance their own understanding of the meaning of freedom and to stake claims to citizenship, civil rights, and racial justice from the federal government.
