Examines the transition from slavery to free labour during the tumultuous first months after the Civil War. Letters and testimony by the participants - former slaves, former slaveholders, Freedmen's Bureau agents, and others - reveal the connection between developments in workplaces across the South and an intensifying political contest over the meaning of freedom and the terms of national reunification.
