One particular article in this issue talks about how uneducated some African American soldiers were when they were called in to war. Those who were in Georgia thought that the war was only miles away from Atlanta, but didn't even know that Atlanta was the capital of Georgia. Not only this, but they did not know any countries that the war was taking place in, or even what the war was about. This ties in to how African Americans dealt with the war and what their expectations were. | One particular article in this issue talks about how uneducated some African American soldiers were when they were called in to war.
