This source is very informative. It provides the view of the northern abolitionists which is often ignored or not as out spoken. It helped me see the views of the north and understand they weren't as ignorant as some slaves in the south believed. This source is credible because the author is a history professor at Maxwell School of Syracuse University.

This source improved my knowledge about the long-lasting effects that slavery and the civil war had on the African American population. This source is credible because it clearly states the authors, had a lot of notes, and was published by an acclaimed publisher.

This Wikipedia entry is extremely long and has over 100 sources cited at the end. It provides a ton of information about Slavery in the US. I would definitely use this as a good source of information on slavery.

BBC is obviously a very reliable source since it is a renowned news provider. This article explains how slavery impacted different parts of the world, not just America. It also discusses specific authors during this period and the eventual uprising of the slaves.

I liked this resource because it talked a lot about how slavery came about. It gave history and background that related to the time as well as who would typically be the slaves’ Masters. It provided a time line of sorts that takes you through what slavery was year by year and how it changed America. I would consider this a credible website because it is affiliated with the History Channel.

Resource #12
I really liked how this article focused more on how slavery was abolished rather than how it was started. It gives good insight into what life was like for the salves and the journey they had to go through to become free. I believe that it provided a well rounded view of the slavery period.

This is a great site! I learned too much to list. After I read this I felt I had more knowledge of the era. This helped me apply my readings within historical and cultural context, especially since I chose the northern abolitionist slant. I knew both sides of the literary story, so to speak. ;-) So, it helped me build a foundation for my research into this movement. Slave literature, from both the north and south, are covered from the 1830s to the present. So, it appears like everything is covered. The .edu address, the editorial board, and the peer review all help to make the site credible. Also, although the article is from a university in Georgia, it is written informatively and does not slant in favor of the south.

I chose this source because it is from Encyclopedia Britannica, which is used by schools because of its credibility. MCC provides a link from its library, showing that they also trust this source.
Although the article is not long, it includes some of the key names and events from the abolitionist movement. There are also interesting non-literary facts, and these give a broader knowledge of the era. For instance, I didn’t know Lincoln wasn’t an abolitionist until his presidency. America was also not the first, or last, to undergo abolitionism. It was just the plantation system of the Deep South that made the American issue of slavery more volatile. In other areas, like the West Indies, slavery was tied in with government for “clean” and early abolitionism. On the other hand, there was big money made in slavery. Cuba and Brazil were the last to abolish slavery in the west, and mostly due to worldwide pressure. I think I heard this elsewhere, but this article is written well.

THis resource was helpful because it explained a lot about slavery and the abolition movement. It notes that a majority of the abolition movement was white, largely because enslaved blacks had no way of participating. I don't agree with the listed credibility of the source, but I do believe it is credible because it has a stated publishing date and author.

I found this resource to be very helpful in explaining the various ways in which slaves were treated. It was interesting to think about how location really determined how well a slave was treated and the kind of work they might do. I don't think I agree with the credibility of this site because I don't think about.com is all that thorough and there is no publishing date or works cited to reference.

i liked that this resource broke the information down into Virginia and Maryland so that readers could distinguish a difference however I think there are even more groups that the information could be broken down into and there is a lot of information left unknown.

This is a site more on the background and history of slavery. i think that it is important to understand the history of the time period to be able to better identify whether or not a piece of writing fits into that period. I have always enjoyed learning about slavery that is why I was interested to read that many of the islands had worse slavery than America did, yet the history that most people are aware of is that of slavery in America.

Southern Spaces is a good site in my opinion. If you have followed my threads for research, you will know why I enjoyed this site from the start. It's an in and out site. By this I mean that upon looking for a place to start, you'll know that you can take from this resource when writing an essay on slavery, or the literature that it produced throughout the country.

This one was easy because I actually looked at this first when I was researching this literary period. It was in my face and I grasped an understanding, or a refresher actually of the preiod, and was headed in the direction that I needed right upon looking at a few paragraphs. Good resource.

I learned a lot about slavery from this source. If truly researching slavery from a literary and historical perspective it seems that knowledge of the details of slavery would be important. This is helpful to understand why some authors approached the subject differently and had varied experiences.

This site is very informative. The inclusion of a variety of genres shows that literature comes in many forms of expression and helps a researcher get a more complete sense of the subject and context. The explanations of the texts' importance is also very helpful.
(I find it interesting that it is a southern literature site--I wonder how much, if any, influence it had on the creation of the site and the inclusion of texts.)

8: I really enjoyed this resource. I like how it provides information on how slavery differed in the different colonies. While I found it really interesting, I am not certain as to its credibility, or how it applies to the CRITIQUE of slavery literary movement.
9: This was an interesting resource because it discusses the general feelings of the founding fathers on the topic of slavery. I was interested to hear that Jefferson had originally written about slavery in the Declaration of Independence. I found this information interesting, and I do believe the source is credible, as it was written by a professor.

This resource was great it gave an overview of slave trade. The only thing I found missing was how slavery started. My website talked about Jamestown and the first slaves but this one didn't. This resource did, however, go into more details about some citizens of the time period who didn't believe in slavery and went into details about how slavery ended which mine didn't . I felt that both my resource and this one were equally as good just in different ways.

This resource was good if you were looking up information for all the time periods or authors from all time periods. But I thought it fell short for a source of slavery. There was very little information about slavery. The slavery section talks about a book but doesn't cover what happened to slaves or anything about the time period. Also it lists a bunch of authors but fails to tell what time period they wrote in which I found very confusing.
