Black soldiers and sailors fought in this war even though they were not given true recognition. African Americans were not seen as important; did not have a voice; but were still willing to fight in hopes of making a difference.The author shares his family history and its importance to him. Willie Cooper's ancestor; George Reid fought in the Rebellion/Civil War of 1861-1865. George's contribution to this war as well as his fellow soldiers freed thousands of slaves and helped slaves free their families. Everyone's family has a history and it is important to trace your heritage. Everyone may have had an ancestor that fought along with George Reid and his regiment.The Forgotten Legacy is about family history and making a difference. The author shares with readers how his ancestor made a mark on history and how it changed the lives of thousands of individuals. This book gives slaves and soldiers a voice. The illustrations helped in understanding the battle and what the soldiers went through. I recommend The Forgotten Legacy to others.This book was provided by the publisher for review purposes.Teresa BeasleyARBC Reviews3.5 Stars0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
