Research Guide for History Workshop: From Slavery to Freedom, Prof. Erica Dunbar

This is a course on colonial and antebellum American history. Advanced Search in America: History & Life lets you limit your search to a specific range of years. See the Historical Period limit towards the bottom of the page, on the right. For example, for the origins of sharecropping, you should try 1865 to 1880.

Many of the records of the articles you find in America: History & Life and other databases will have direct links to the fulltext of the article. If not, click on Get It @ R. Get It @ R will (usually) provide links to fulltext outside of the database. If you don't see those links, click Sign-In, then Article Delivery. We'll provide a PDF copy, usually within a day.
