There can be no question that slavery is an abomination. But, "Caleb" touches on what happened to the slaves who were suddenly "freed" and turned out of the only home they had known, with no resources and no schooling. They were held responsible for a war fought on their behalf, with resentment from both sides. The were seen an unwanted burden by both Northern and Southern societies completely impoverished by war. Their fight for recognition and respect is eloquently told in Caleb's story.
