Using documents selected from the National Archives, this volume of \u003ci\u003eFreedom: A Documentary History of Emancipation\u003c\/i\u003e depicts the struggle of unenfranchised and impoverished ex-slaves to control their own labor, establish their families as viable economic units, and secure independent possession of land. Among the topics addressed are the dispossession of settlers in the Sherman reserve, the reordering of labor on plantation and farm, nonagricultural labor, new relations of credit and debt, long-distance labor migration, and the efforts of former slaves to rent, purchase, and homestead land. The documents--many of them in the freedpeople's own words--speak eloquently for themselves, while the editors' interpretive essays provide context and illuminate major themes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e René Hayden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1469607425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469607429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/19\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.50w x 2.80d","brand":"René Hayden","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43935446958335,"sku":"9781469607429","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e8497d50-7462-4ed5-a97e-65dd8fd0eed5.jpg?v=1681419849","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/freedom-ren-hayden-9781469607429","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
