Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book AwardBased on hitherto unexamined sources: interviews with ex-slaves; diaries and accounts by former slaveholders; this "rich and admirably written book" (Eugene Genovese; The New York Times Book Review) aims to show how; during the Civil War and after Emancipation; blacks and whites interacted in ways that dramatized not only their mutual dependency; but the ambiguities and tensions that had always been latent in "the peculiar institution."
