Harpers Ferry during the Civil War – Encyclopedia Virginia

SUMMARY
Harpers Ferry, in what is now West Virginia, lies at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers and serves as the gateway to the Shenandoah Valley. Before and during the American Civil War (1861–1865), this small, isolated town was an economically thriving community with great strategic importance because of its location along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and its firearms industry including the United States Arsenal and Armory and Hall’s Rifle Works. In 1859, Harpers Ferry emerged onto the national stage when the radical abolitionist John Brown and a small band of followers raided the armory in an attempt to ignite a slave insurrection. The town also became an object of intense military interest immediately after Virginia’s secession in April 1861, during the Shenandoah Valley Campaign of 1862, the Maryland Campaign of 1862, and the Valley Campaign of 1864. ....

A retired Army colonel and his former West Point roommate believe they have discovered a nearly forgotten and possibly first Black unit in the Civil War and are spearheading efforts to see the history-making soldiers honored nearly 160 years later.
The career soldiers-turned-amateur-historians, retired Col. Chris Allen and retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, former commander of U.S. Army Europe, say the members of the 1st South Carolina Volunteers of African Descent could be the first Black soldiers to wear Union uniforms, perhaps a year before the famed 54th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment, which was profiled in the acclaimed 1989 film “Glory.” ....

February is
Black History Month, it’s something that no American of any race, color, or creed should forget. African Americans, the decendants of slaves and slaves themselves fought for freedom that was only at best was in the
promissory note of the
Emancipation Proclamation.
Those men, and women in the case of Harriett Tubman and Sojourner Truth, paved the way for freedom for African Americans and all others who benefited from what they fought for: women, Native Americans, Mexican Americans, and other Hispanics, Asian Americans, and LGBTQ Americans.
That promise being made then, must be kept today, to the descendents of this men, as well as all who benefited through their sacrifice: even the Southern Whites who at the time did not know then, or all too often today, that they too needed emancipation. ....

Towards the end of the Civil War, Union leaders gathered a group of Black ministers in Savannah, Georgia. The goal of the meeting was to figure out a way to help the newly freed enslaved African people who’d been in the country for 300 years by time the war ended in 1865.
The meeting was held in the Green-Meldrim House where General
William T. Sherman was staying following the end of his infamous march across Georgia. He and other Union leaders met with ministers including Rev.
Garrison Fraizer. Historical records of the meeting indicate that Sherman and Secretary of War ....

The truth about reparations: They're a condemnation of U.S. capitalism – People's World

Fugitive Slaves, Virginia, 1862/Library of Congress

“Enslavement was about the devil’s work of predatory capitalism.” economist Julianne Malveaux
For the first time in over a decade, on June 19, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties held its first congressional hearing on reparations. Though it’s a discussion that’s taken many forms over the years, the current talk surrounding reparations for the descendants of Black slaves needs to go beyond cash payouts and speak more to the dire need to address the ramifications of the slave trade on Black Americans. ....
