Hello to the collective wisdom of CASL,

A teacher/student teacher asked me to help research primary documents relevant to Antebellem America.  "Students will seek and cite quotes from slave narratives, pro-slavery, and abolitionist perspectives."

I am directing her to the History Reference database on researchitct.org
We also have some print resources.
I have started to find relevant websites, but I don't want to miss anything.

If anyone has done similar research projects with middle school and is willing to share some online tools, I would be happy to share what I have as well!

Thank you,
Marybeth
