Not sure my earlier reply went through. Check out the Library of Congress FWP Records: https://www.loc.gov/collections/slave-narratives-from-the-federal-writers-project-1936-to-1938/about-this-collection/.  They even have recordings with former enslaved people's voices.

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
