Foreword

This is the story of Abraham H. Galloway (1837–70), a fiery young

slave rebel, radical abolitionist, and Union spy who rose out of
bondage to become one of the most significant and stirring black
leaders in the United States during the American Civil War. A
freedom fighter in what the New Orleans Tribune, the first African
American newspaper published below the Mason-Dixon Line, called
“a Second American Revolution,” Galloway burned with an
incandescent passion against tyranny and injustice. His war was not
the one that we are accustomed to seeing in history books, however.
Galloway’s war had little to do with that of Grant or Lee, Vicksburg
or Cold Harbor. It had nothing to do with states’ rights or preserving
the Union. Galloway’s Civil War was a slave insurgency, a war of
liberation that was the culmination of generations of perseverance
and faith. It was, ultimately, the slaves’ Civil War.
