The End Of Slavery
Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
This 5 page paper discusses the end of slavery and the transition from slave labor to free labor. Relying on the work of Foner and Berlin and colleagues, the writer explains that the Reconstruction era was one of confusion and controversy. The first part of the essay critiques Foner's narrative in his book, including his use of the comparative model in Nothing But Freedom. A premise is offered: The transition from slave labor to free labor was more important to establishing post-war freedoms that was African-American military service. The statement is defended because the contribution of black regiments in the Civil War were soon forgotten. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
