Description
The Library of Congress presents a 2016 video, produced by Dr. Tuyen Tran at the University of California, Davis, as a part of an online conference for teachers hosted by the Library of Congress, that explores how enslaved individuals gained their freedom during the Civil War, including debunking the myth of the Emancipation Proclamation's abolition of slavery instead of the 13th Amendment--which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude except in cases where it is used as punishment for a crime. Themes include: how to teach emancipation to students, audience analysis of secondary and primary sources, and a discussion of "human agency" in the emancipation of enslaved individuals.
