Summary

Throughout the Civil War slaves escaped from their owners and sought refuge behind Union lines, vexing northern military commanders. Supporters of accepting runaway slaves argued that they could help the Union cause and would deprive the Confederacy of labor, but opponents argued that they would burden Union troops and should be returned to their owners. Should northern military forces have accepted fugitive slaves who fled to Union lines?

This eBook examines the dilemma and delves into the pro and con arguments that surrounded it. It includes a timeline, primary sources, a bibliography, a "Learn More About" chapter with more information on the topic, and a "What If" chapter speculating on what might have happened had northern military commanders taken a different approach.
