Description
1870 Army life in a Black Regiment CIVIL WAR Slavery Negro Spirituals Abolition
Thomas Higginson was a 19th-century American soldier who is best remembered for his work as an abolitionist. Following his years in the Civil War, Higginson wrote a book based on his experience as the colonel of the 1st South Carolina Volunteers – the first recognized black regiment. This book, ‘Army Life in a Black Regiment’, recounts the role of black soldiers, influences of slavery on the Civil War, and captures the dialect and verses from Negro spirituals sung around the war camp grounds.
Larned says of this book:
“a series of carefully wrought studies of negro character as a phase of humanity, and of graphically recounted episodes of regimental or personal adventure.”
