  African Americans and Civil War Music." A lecture and book signing spons
 ored by Friends of Alexandria Archaeology(FOAA). Music was more than mere
  entertainment during the Civil War and no one was more aware of its powe
 r than African Americans. Having long used music as a means of communicat
 ion and resistance to slavery\, they understood how a single performance 
 could spread information and change perceptions. As wartime African Ameri
 cans made the transition from slaves to freedmen and Union soldiers\, the
 y continually expressed themselves musically both for their own benefit a
 nd to influence white listeners. Indeed\, music was one of the most effec
 tive ways for them to show their humanity and loyalty to the Union.\nChri
 stian McWhirter is an Assistant Editor for The Papers of Abraham Lincoln 
 and the author of "Battle Hymns: The Power and Popularity of Music during
  the Civil War." Born and raised near Toronto\, Canada\, he received his 
 Doctorate in American History from The University of Alabama. He lives in
  Arlington with his wife Corrin and his son Dylan.\n\n\nLocation: Alexand
