Resources mentioned in today’s class, for learning more about Reconstruction:

US History in Context database, through the WSU Library

  • One advantage of this resource is that when you search a topic it divides up the results into articles in academic journals, primary sources, reference works, etc. “References” are especially handy, often short entries about the topic in different kinds of scholarly encyclopedias.

“Slavery By Another Name”
