Abstract:
During the Civil War free and enslaved African Americans fled to the safety of Union-occupied northeastern North Carolina. There they served the Union action against the Confederates as spies, river pilots, messengers, guides, and laborers. Many joined the Northern army in units which at that time were called the United States Colored Troops. Haley provides examples of this military service.
