I'm looking for some scholastic articles and journals about real events that happened back in the 1800s in the Southern U.S. I am preparing research for a conference presentation and I need real stories as evidence for my claims. Scholarly articles about the overall effects of slavery would also be appreciated. Thanks you guys
If you can be more specific about the sort of material you're looking for, I imagine people can provide a better selection of sources. I can't imagine how many articles are out there on U.S. slavery in general. Thousands, probably.
In the meantime, I'd take a look at the WPA Slave Narratives.
