- Description:
- This lesson could be taught immediately before or after a study of the Civil War. It is intended to help students learn how to identify possible “points of view” embedded in primary documents. It’s based on two very different descriptions of what slavery was like in Alabama before emancipation. Students are presented with two letters written in 1913, one by a former slave owner and the other by a former slave. Both were responding in narrative fashion to a questionnaire sent out in 1912 by H. C. Nixon, an Alabama native and scholar studying slavery in this state.
