Self-emancipation posed a dilemma for the Union military. Soldiers were forbidden to interfere with slavery or assist runaways, but many soldiers disobeyed the policy.
I love this for the slaves, I feel those that weren't slaves and could have helped others should have helped others. This kind of reminds me of the Harriet Tubman movie when she ran away and met people of colors and whites who were willing to help her because they knew slavery was wrong and when she went back to help free more they stayed by her side. If we had more people like these people slavery could have ended sooner than it did.
