Bruce Levine looks closely at Confederate plans to arm and free slaves. He offers an engaging and illuminating account of a fascinating and politically charged idea, setting it firmly in the context of the Civil War and the part played in it by the issue of slavery and the actions of the slaves themselves.

I mark this book down slightly for two points. One, Levine could have dwelt a little more on how even if large numbers of Afro-Confederate soldiers could have been raised, the logistical wherewithal to do so really wasn't there in 1865. Two, while we hear from the non-slaveholders of the Confederacy, and their concerns about maintaining racial separation, we hear rather less from the planter substrate on whose behalf so much useless sacrifice was made. This is as opposed to their self-appointed spokesmen in the Confederate press. ( )
