H-CivWar is H-Net's network on scholarship, teaching, and outreach on the history of the American Civil War.
I didn't respond to this string when it first appeared, but was really intrigued me because the entwined matter of slave impressment and black recruitment overlapped with a couple of books I had just published on the border states. I knew I had plenty of evidence that would help, but which wouldn't fully answer the questions being asked. The responses have been really helpful.
