Learning Goal: I’m working on a history writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
From the first shots of the Civil War, the institution of slavery began to crumble. Many enslaved people fled to Union lines and sought refuge. White U.S. officers and soldiers responded in complicated ways, but escapes continued. And within a few months of Fort Sumpter, Congress passed the first of a series of laws allowing refugees, deemed “contraband,” refuge. It was not until September 22, 1862, with Lincoln’s announcement of the Emancipation Proclamation that abolitionism became a war aim.
From January 1, 1863, the U.S. military made war on slavery and enslaved people continued to escape to Union lines. In many ways, that fight continued through the mid-1870s – in Congress, in the courts, and state legislatures, but also at churches, on farms, at workplaces, and in schools.
