How the Slaves Saw the Civil War: Recollections of the War through the WPA Slave Narratives draws upon interviews collected largely during the 1930s1940s as part of the Federal Writers Project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA).Because most slaves could not read or write, their perspective on the unfolding history of the war has been relatively unknown until these narratives were collected in the 1930s and 1940s. This book extracts the most cogent and compelling tales from the documentation of former slaves seldom-heard voices on the events leading up to, during, and following the war. The works two introductory chapters focus on the WPAs narratives and living conditions under slavery. The remaining chapters address key topics such as slave loyalties to either or both sides of the conflict, key battles, participation in the Union and/or Confederate armies, the day Union forces came, slave contact with key historical figures, and emancipationand what came after....1491128How the Slaves Saw the Civil War9941105https://www.gandhi.com.mx/how-the-slaves-saw-the-civil-war/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/785264/7eaa32e6-8e4d-40f3-9d54-485efa2228d0.jpg?v=638336207000700000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20149798216099307_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9798216099307_Drawing from narratives of former slaves to provide accurate and poignant insights, this book presents descriptions in the former slaves own words about their lives before, during, and following the Civil War.Examining narratives allows us to better understand what life was truly like for slaves: "hearing" history in their own words brings the human aspects of slavery and their interpersonal relationships to life, providing insights and understanding not typically available via traditional history books.
