Description

This biography undertakes a systematic analysis of the impact of the Civil War on Frederick Douglass' life and thought, offering new insights into the meaning of the war in American history and the Afro-American experience. The book traces Douglass' intellectual and personal growth from the political crises of the 1850s through secession, war, black enlistment, emancipation and reconstruction. It provides an engrossing story of Douglass' development of a social identity in relation to transforming events, and demonstrates that he saw the Civil War as the Second American Revolution and himself as one of the founders of a new nation.
