- Description:
- This lesson aims to inform students about the tragic nature of the convict leasing system in Alabama, a topic that many American history textbooks don’t mention. It uses a combination of materials: dramatic information about one particular prisoner, a scholarly summary (from the Encyclopedia of Alabama) about how the lease system worked in this state, and three primary documents.
