What is Contrabands: Paths to Freedom and Citizenship about?

African Americans fled to Union lines during the Civil War seeking protection and freedom. They established contraband camps throughout the South managed by the Army and private organizations. Some camps provided land for farming to become self-sufficient. Camps near military bases employed refugees. After the war, refugees gained freedom through military service, education, and landownership.
