It chronicles one of the first collective migrations of blacks from the South to the North during and after the Civil War. The book relates the history of a network forged between Worcester County, Massachusetts, and eastern North Carolina as a result of Worcester regiments taking control of northeastern North Carolina during the war. White soldiers from Worcester, a hotbed of abolitionism, protected refugee slaves, set up schools for them, and led them north at war's end. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 647 7 American Civil War|c(United States :|d1861-1865)|2fast |0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1351658 648 7 19th century|2fast 648 7 1800 - 1899|2fast 650 0 African Americans|zMassachusetts|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85001998|zWorcester|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80023143-781|xHistory|y19th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2002006167 650 0 African Americans|zMassachusetts|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85001998|zWorcester|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80023143-781|xSocial conditions|y19th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2001008858 650 0 Freed persons|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85051692|zMassachusetts|zWorcester|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n80023143-781|xHistory|y19th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006167 650 0 African Americans|xMigrations|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2021005689|xHistory|y19th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006167 650 0 Migration, Internal|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008107776|xHistory|y19th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006167 650 7 African Americans.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 799558 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Social conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919811 650 7 Freed persons.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/933987 650 7 African Americans|xMigrations.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/799643 650 7 Migration, Internal.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1020741 651 0 United States|xHistory|yCivil War, 1861-1865|xSocial aspects.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2007100005 651 0 Worcester (Mass.)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n80023143|xSocial conditions|y19th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2001008858 651 7 Massachusetts|zWorcester.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1207904 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGreenwood, Janette Thomas.|tFirst fruits of freedom.|dChapel Hill : University of North Carolina Press, ©2009|z9780807833629|w(DLC) 2009031107 |w(OCoLC)428895775 830 0 John Hope Franklin series in African American history and culture.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n98090591 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=343594|zOnline eBook.
