By Dale Kretz
Based on extensive archival research in rarely used collections, Dale Kretz uncovers surprising stories of political mobilization among tens of thousands of Black claimants for military bounties, back payments, and pensions, finding victories in an unlikely place: the federal bureaucracy. This book offers the definitive history of how formerly enslaved men and women pursued federal benefits from the Civil War to the New Deal and transformed themselves from a stateless people into documented citizens.
