37 Weeks
Week 34 (December 8th - December 14th)
Episode 34 | 1m 45s
Refugee slaves follow Sherman’s army seeking liberation but instead meet terrible fates.
With the March to the Sea 4 weeks underway, thousands of refugee slaves in search of liberation follow the Union army. They are both boon and bane to Sherman’s cause: providing labor, but hindering movement. At Ebenezer Creek, the bridge is dismantled so none can follow. Countless refugees drown; survivors are shot by Confederate troops or remanded to their owners. The enslaved are not yet free.
