How Black soldiers helped end the US Civil War Jacqueline Cutler, New York Daily News © NYU Press/TNS The Black Civil War Soldier: A Visual History of Conflict and Citizenship by Deborah Willis; NYU Press. “The Black Civil War Soldier: A Visual History of Conflict and Citizenship” by Deborah Willis; NYU Press (256 pages, $35) It wasn’t just a war for freedom. It was a war for the future. Black soldiers during the Civil War weren’t just fighting for themselves. They were fighting for their children and all who came after. They were fighting for tomorrow. “The Black Civil War Soldier: A Visual History of Conflict and Citizenship,” by Deborah Willis, delivers much more than the formal, carefully posed photographs of men in uniforms and their heartfelt letters home and to the world.
