Please help me its a E2020 question Please HELP!!

I was a small boy when Sherman left here at the fall of Atlanta. He come through Madison on his march to the sea and we children hung out on the front fence from early morning 'til late in the evening, watching the soldiers go by. It took most of the day. . . . The next week after Sherman passed through Madison, Miss Emily called the five [enslaved persons] that was on the place and told them . . . they were free and could go wherever they wanted to.
