Very Good jacket. New York. 1992. New Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 1565840151. 571 pages. hardcover. Jacket design By Charles Nix. Painting on cover: ‘On to Liberty', Theodore Kaufmann, 1867. keywords: African American History America. DESCRIPTION-FREE AT LAST brings together some of the most remarkable letters ever written by Americans. Made affordable and widely available for the first time, these letters, along with personal testimony, official transcripts, and other records, are drawn from the award-winning landmark reference volumes originally published by Cambridge University Press under the title FREEDOM: A DOCUMENTARY HISTORY OF EMANCIPATION. With great immediacy, the letters depict the drama of emancipation in the midst of the nation's bloodiest conflict, and convey the struggle of black men and women to overthrow the slave system, to aid the Union cause as laborers and soldiers, and to give meaning to their newly won freedom in a war-torn nation. The documents also show the active role of slaves and former slaves in transforming a war for the Union into a war against slavery, demonstrating according to the JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY, ‘that the destruction of slavery was accomplished through black self-determination. ' Perhaps most importantly, the documents vividly demonstrate how emancipation transformed the lives of all Americans, black and white. Described in The New York Times as ‘this generation's most significant encounter with the American past, ' the documents in FREE AT LAST have also been called by William S. McFeeley ‘rich sources for the understanding of the complex and inspiring story of how black American achieved their freedom. ' inventory #18043.
