PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Freedom Soldiers Follows The Lives Of Once-enslaved Soldiers As They Fought For The Us Army During The American Civil War And Decamped In Their Ongoing Struggle To Become Free. Undoing The Many Vestiges Of Slavery Was A Protracted Process, Which Unfolded Amid A Bloody War. Thousands On This Rocky Road Of Liberation Entered The Us Army, Where Their Process Of Emancipation Continued. To Engage The Process And Influence Their Evolving Bonds With The Us Government, The Enlisted Freedom Seekers Examined In Freedom Soldiers Used Their Feet And Words To Fashion Their Lives After Slavery. They Took Self-granted Breaks-or Leaves Of Freedom. Many Then Defended Their Actions Within The Military Justice System. These Men, Deemed Deserters By The Us Army, Saw Mobility As A Crucial Tool For Shaping Their Lives After Slavery. If Tried And Incarcerated For Deserting, They Defended Their Actions. They Saw Their Unauthorized Departures As Legitimate Means Of Redressing Unacceptable Restraints In The Army. Freedom Soldiers Reveals That The War For Freedom Was Not Only Fought On Battlefields. It Was Also Fought In Us Army Camps, Courts, And Prisons-- Provided By Publisher. © Copyright . All rights reserved.
