New Web Resource - The End of Slavery: The Creation of the 13th Amendment

HarpWeek has developed a web resource that explores
the "nation’s transition from slavery to freedom."

"The primary source materials for The End of
Slavery: The Creation of the 13th Amendment are taken
from the pages of Harper’s Weekly, the leading American
illustrated newspaper in the second-half of the nineteenth
century." The site includes editorials, feature stories, news items,
illustrations, cartoons, a poem, and an advertisement."

The site also features a timeline (1787-1865), commentary,
biographies, a glossary and a list of sources.
