3.0

A bit of a slog to get through and sometimes repetitive but definitely a book worth reading. I suppose I always took a simplistic view of the Civil War. Before it there was slavery. After it there wasn't. This book demolishes that myth and goes into detail to show how the Union Army and slaves/free people brought about the end of slavery together.
