Discussion on African American Views of the Civil War

Panelists talked about African American views of the Civil War, including those of emancipated slaves, the U.S. Colored Troops, and political leaders such as Frederick Douglass and W.E.B. Du Bois. “African American Memory” was a panel discussion at “Causes Won and Lost: The End of the Civil War,” a symposium on the end of the Civil War hosted by the Virginia Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Commission. The symposium took place on April 18, 2015, at Old Cabell Hall on the campus of the University of Virginia.
