This module explores the journey of the Bostick family members who escaped enslavement and joined the Union Navy during the Civil War. Their story highlights the challenges and opportunities faced by African Americans as they transitioned from enslavement to freedom, contributing to the Union’s fight for emancipation. Through primary and secondary sources, students will examine the choices made by the Bosticks and the broader context of African Americans’ military service during the war. Link to Interactive Unit
