"I will be heard!" Abolitionism in America |
http://rmc.library.cornell.edu/abolitionism/ The words are those of abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. This site documents "our country's intellectual, moral, and political struggle to achieve freedom for all Americans. Featuring rare books, manuscripts, letters, photographs, and other materials from Cornell's pre-eminent anti-slavery and Civil War collections, the exhibition explores the complex history of slavery, resistance, and abolition from the 1700s through 1865." The site is distinguished by well-selected images and clear and insightful commentary. |

http://www.iath.virginia.edu/utc/ This beautifully designed site offers an intellectually expansive exploration of the topic. It presents material - for example literature, songs, plays, objects, and images - that deal with the novel and that reflect its influence and the various reactions to it. |
