Description

Stephen J. Ochs chronicles the intersecting lives of the primary black military Civil War hero, Captain AndrĂ© Cailloux of the first Louisiana Native Guards, and the lone Catholic clerical voice of abolition in New Orleans, the Reverend Claude Paschal Maistre. Their paths converged in July 1863, when Maistre, in defiance of his archbishop, officiated at a big public military funeral for Cailloux, who had perished even as courageously leading a doomed charge against the Confederate bastion of Port Hudson. The tale of ways Cailloux and Maistre arrived at that day and what happened as a consequence provides a prism during which to view the black military enjoy and the complex interplay of slavery, race, radicalism, and religion all through American democracy’s such a lot violent upheaval.
