Lost Voices: Slavery, Freedom, and the Battle of Fredericksburg

Description

When we talk about the Battle of Fredericksburg, we usually talk about the soldiers and civilians who wrote down their experiences. Unfortunately, relying on these accounts gives us an incomplete picture. What about people who did not write down their stories?
