Abstract	"Free people of color were both architects of equal rights and active participants in the Civil War, on and off the battlefield. Their unique status as already free persons before emancipation shaped their experiences of military service, political activism, and community life in ways distinct from those newly freed from slavery and impacted how they navigated the pursuit of equal rights. In this groundbreaking work, Warren Eugene Milteer Jr. brings the stories of free people of color to the forefront, revealing that freedom was not simply the absence of enslavement but a powerful foundation of identity, rights, and belonging. Their determined struggles and strategies before, during, and after the war helped redefine what it meant to be a citizen in a nation grappling with democracy and equality. Through military service, vital civilian roles, and political advocacy, free people of color stood at the heart of the nation's most transformative conflict. Centering their voices and histories, Out of this strife will come freedom shows how their sacrifices and strategies helped forge America's path toward justice, reshaping our understanding of freedom and their enduring legacy in the national story"-- Provided by publisher.
