Book Description

Conventional wisdom holds that freedmen's education was largely the work of privileged, single white northern women motivated by evangelical beliefs and abolitionism. Backed by pathbreaking research, Ronald E. Butchart's Schooling the Freed People shatters this notion. The most comprehensive quantitative study of the origins of black education in freedom ever undertaken, this definitive book on freedmen's teachers in the South is an outstanding contribution to social history and our understanding of African American education.

Book Description

"In addition to the many circulars and blank information forms that have been sent out, nearly five thousand letters have been written. Searches have been made through files of newspapers, pamphlets, and college and seminary necrologies and general catalogues. Genealogies, as far as they could be found have been examined in the libraries of the New England Genealogical and Historical Society in Boston, and of the Long Island Historical Society in Brooklyn, and in the Lenox Library in New York. And all available means have been utilized to obtain the information contained in this volume.." -- From compilers' note
