Hello! 

My name is Caroline Wood Newhall. I am an Assistant Professor of History at Oberlin College in Ohio. I specialize in 19th-century United States history, focusing on North American slavery, warfare, and the Civil War Era. 

I am currently finalizing my book manuscript (under contract with the University of North Carolina Press), wherein I analyze the experiences of Black Civil War soldiers who became prisoners of war in the Confederacy. 

In addition to the book, I am developing a digital database and mapping project centered on Black POWs’ movements throughout the American South.
