How Slavery ended

.
.
.
I like history books and when I come across one I consider worthwhile I will mention it here.

===========================

Freedom National: The Destruction of Slavery in the United States, 1861-1865: The Destruction of Slavery in the United States, 1861–1865

==================

"the book to read on how slavery died"
- Library Journal

======

“Freedom National provides the best account we have of the process of emancipation and the ultimate abolition of slavery, on the ground in the South and in the halls of power at Washington. It also makes clear that from the beginning, nearly all participants recognized that the central issue of the war was slavery and that its likely outcome was a new birth of freedom.”

- James M. McPherson, author of War on the Waters: The Union and Confederate Navies, 1861―1865
