Over the course of four years, enslaved people worked to turn the Civil War into a freedom war. On June 19, 1865, the federal government finally declared slavery dead across the country. This momentous event marked a new birth of freedom — an occasion we now commemorate as Juneteenth.
Richard Bell is Professor of History at the University of Maryland and author of the book Stolen: Five Free Boys Kidnapped into Slavery and their Astonishing Odyssey Home which was a finalist for the George Washington Prize and the Harriet Tubman Prize.
