His body lay in a medical college where Samuel Derrick Webster, a white Union solider who had joined the Union army in late 1861 at the age of fifteen, remarked on the boy’s horrific death with sadness. Perhaps there were only days between the young child’s death and the arrival of Union regiments that might have provided safety, had his family run to Union lines. The upheaval of war represented a remarkable opening up of freedom for enslaved Americans, but it also led to new dangers for the most vulnerable members of the enslaved population. The war’s atrocities and the postwar experiences of surging white supremacy, lynching, and threats of continued violence viewed through the eyes of those who were most at risk highlights the long-term stakes involved in creating meanings of freedom. In light of these increased dangers, Black children’s actions as they sought education, played with greater senses of freedom, joined parades, or ran away with their families, represented a variety of subversive rebellions that placed questions of childhood and age at the heart of the fight for emancipation.2 The","PeriodicalId":43056,"journal":{"name":"CIVIL WAR HISTORY","volume":"31 1","pages":"32 - 55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74218565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He asked his listeners to imagine “in what new skin” the “Old Snake” of racial oppression would come forth. He reminded them that before the Civil War, wherever Northern abolitionists had found the word white in state constitutional provisions and legislation, they immediately recognized a code word for slavery, and they “made war upon it” until the word had disappeared from their state constitutions and laws. But now, with the defeat of the Southern slave states, the time had come to finish that work. The destruction of slavery had not guaranteed Black rights—even the basic right to freedom—because the indignity of unequal treatment remained in place everywhere, not only in the former slave states of the Confederacy. Abolitionists, he argued, must now fight to eradicate racial discrimination and segregation throughout the nation. Douglass’s words appear near the end of Kate Masur’s important new book, but they encapsulate several of her core contributions to the field of civil rights history. First, she clarifies the earlynineteenth-century dispute over the contested and often contradictory meanings of freedom and rights, particularly in cases where free Black people possessed few legal tools to protect themselves from incarceration or even enslavement. Second, Masur teases apart the complicated subject of the fundamental rights of persons who claimed citizenship in one state but whose right to freedom was challenged in another state merely by virtue of their race. Finally, she explores how both proand anti-Black rights Americans developed constitutional tools in arguing for and against the civil rights of Black Americans. Douglass had contended that without the full and equal rights of citizenship, African Americans, and their white allies, would inevitably lose the fight for political equality. Moral and ethical arguments might have served as important weapons in the fight against slavery, but in order to establish fundamental constitutional rights of Black Americans,","PeriodicalId":43056,"journal":{"name":"CIVIL WAR HISTORY","volume":"51 1","pages":"56 - 58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86156216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
