Tools&Resources Slavery in America and the World
Slavery in America and the World: History, Culture, and Law brings together essential legal materials relating to the history of slavery in the United States and the English-speaking world. This includes every federal, state, and colony statute on slavery, as well as all reported state and federal cases on the subject. In this database, slavery-related
case coverage extends into the 20th century because long after slavery ended, courts were still resolving issues emanating from the practice. This library contains hundreds of pamphlets and books written about slavery, whether defending it, attacking it, or simply analyzing it. Also included
are every English-language legal commentary on slavery published before 1920, including many essays and articles in obscure, hard-to-find journals from the U.S. and elsewhere. Additionally, there are more than a thousand pamphlets and books on slavery from the 19th century. Moreover, this database includes many modern histories of slavery
and a section containing all modern law review articles on the subject. Questions? Please contact Donald Martin at dvmartin@southern. edu with questions regarding McKee Library databases.
