African Americans and the Gettysburg Campaign, Sesquicentennial Edition

Unveiling black roles in Civil War's pivotal battle.

If you're intrigued by the underrepresented narratives of American history, "African Americans and the Gettysburg Campaign" offers a profound insight into the crucial roles played by African Americans during one of the Civil War's defining moments. The book not only fills gaps in the historical record but does so with engaging detail and empathetic storytelling. It's a journey through the valor and struggles that shaped both a community and a nation.

Description

The Sesquicentennial edition of African Americans and the Gettysburg Campaign expands the range of research beyond its original 2006 edition. With a foreword from chief historian emeritus of the National Park Service, Edwin C. Bearss, Paradis sets the stage by introducing readers to the important and colorful members of the black community in and around the town of Gettysburg, including descriptions of Underground Railroad activity in the area. With the outbreak of the Civil War, black volunteers for the Union army were initially rejected. But that did not stop them from assuming non-combatant roles, such as their role as teamsters. Paradis also includes overviews of the African American contribution to the Confederate army and finally the authorization of black troops in the North, with their early action in combat before and during the Gettysburg Campaign. Paradis searingly describes, among other matters, the Invasion of Pennsylvania by the Confederate Army in July 1863, which would turn into a massive slave hunt with the abduction of free Pennsylvania blacks, precipitating a boom in black resident volunteers in defense of the state. From there, Paradis dives into the fighting in Gettysburg and other Pennsylvania towns, with a focus on black contributions and casualties. Paradis’ work then turns its attention to the aftermath of the battle, including the labor of African Americans in the disinterring of bodies for the National Cemetery. This
