Register for "Slavery and Its Consequences: Abolition and Pro-Slavery"

November 13, 2021, 8:45 AM ET - 11:30 AM ET | Hosted by: Teaching American History: Core Document Collections (Held Online)

This seminar is the third in a series of online discussion-based seminars on slavery in the United States. Each will focus a theme related to slavery and its enduring legacy - all stemming from the system’s characteristics in the United States. The primary sources used in this series draw from Teaching American History’s Core Document Collection: Slavery and Its Consequences. Session Three will focus on arguments made by abolitionists calling for an end to the system and those made by defenders of the so-called “peculiar institution.”

Each book in our Core Document Collection contains original sources related to a theme, an introduction authored by the scholar curating the book, study questions for each document, and additional resources to help students and teachers deepen their understanding of the topic.

"It gave me a better understanding of the Founders’ views. They saw that restricting religious liberty is not only wrong; it leads to animosity within society. This year, I will begin both my government class and my class on “Law and Modern Society” with George Washington’s Letter to the Hebrew Congregation at Newport." — Sean B.
