Slavery. Understanding
Slavery. How could slavery have survived so long in American
history? The challenge with this site was to put American
slavery into global context, and to explore the ways that it
permeated American social and economic institutions. The
result: a hybrid role play/interactive reference site that
challenges the student to stop a slave auction, and then lets
them explore the perspectives of the many people who had a stake
in the institution.
