My Sources for the Claim that 1,000,000 Freed Slaves Died from Disease and Starvation After the Civil War

 "Black and White" by Henry Latham, "Sick from Freedom" by James Downs, and "Everything You Were Taught About American Slavery Is Wrong, Ask a Southerner" by Lochlainn Seabrook.......And it's just common sense in that the marauding Yankee Soldiers either stole or destroyed the entire food supply and so of course many people are going to perish.
