“I never thought Jamie would fight for slavery,” Robert remarked.
“He ain’t fightin’ for slavery,” Wells said, soaking his aching feet in a pan of warm water—the black army did not as yet have shoes and boots and were training in what they had arrived wearing, often bare feet. “He’s fightin’ for the right of a state not to be totally run by the Federal government.”
