Fugitives and Freedman: The Politics of Slavery in the Civil War Era
HIST 325
Spring 2020
Section: 01  
Crosslisting: AFAM 335

The actions of fugitive slaves and newly-freed people turned the crisis of American union into a war for emancipation. Questions of slavery's expansion, permanence, and end dominated the political discourse of the United States from 1848 through 1877. This course will examine the ways in which political actors, especially African Americans, kept the twin issues of slavery and emancipation in the public sphere to restructure American society in the middle of the 19th century.
