African American Slavery and Bondage: Difference between revisions

A few plantation records are listed in a set of user-guide books starting with the title ''Records of Ante-Bellum Southern Plantations from the Revolution through the Civil War'' (Frederick, Md.: University Publications of America, 1966). The records described in these user-guide booklets are a microfilm collection of manuscripts held in several major research libraries throughout the South. Parts of the papers from some plantations were once scattered by their donation to many libraries, and this collection now helps gather some of them in a single set. It offers access to selected material from Maryland to Texas in one source.<ref>Jean L.
