This Research Guide provides suggested library resources such as Books, Ebooks, and Databases with articles and images pertaining to the antislavery efforts in the United States and key historical persons leading to the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment. Reliable, freely available web sites are also listed. The web sites on the accompanying pages offer access to materials not owned by TSU,including primary source documents written by by participants of observers of the ant slavery movement. The secondary sources should be treated as a starting point for research, not the final steps in gathering information.
