"This book is deeply researched and engaging, offering much to abolitionist historiography.... This is a book that I am so glad was written and one that I will long think about."—@CWBookReview on Frank Cirillo's "The Abolitionist Civil War" bit.ly/3UiQme6

Happy Birthday Robert Smalls! On this day in 1839 his mother, Lydia, couldn’t have imagined that her son would eventually come to own the land on which they were once enslaved, or that he’d call that land his home as a sitting US Congressman.

General Sherman's troops arrive at the outer defenses of Savannah, GA today in 1864. Leadership in Washington doesn't yet know this since Sherman has been purposely incommunicado since the start of his March to the Sea.
