Aprašymas

Emancipation and the citizenship that followed conferred uponformer slaves the right to create family relationships that were sanctioned, recognized, and regulated by the laws that governed the families of all Americancitizens. Elizabeth Regosin explores what the acquisition of this legal familialstatus meant to former slaves, personally, socially, andpolitically.

The Civil War pension system offers afascinating source of documentation for this study of ex-slave families intransition from slavery to freedom. Because the provisions made to compensateeligible Union veterans and surviving family members created a vast bureaucracy --pension officials required and verified extensive proof of qualification -- formerslaves were obliged to reproduce and represent the inner workings of their familialrelationships.

Regosin reveals through both theirpersonal histories and pension narratives how former slaves constructed identitiesas individuals and as family members while they negotiated the boundaries of"family" as defined by the pension system. The stories told byex-slaves, their witnesses, and the government officials who played a role in thepension process all serve to provide us with a richer understanding of life fornewly emancipated African Americans.
