For this blog post, I chose to review the websites under option D. “Revisiting Rebellion: Nat Turner in the American Imagination” This website provided a little bit of information on Nat Turner’s Rebellion in August of 1831. The execution of the website has its strengths […]

Both websites are completely different and stand out in their own way. The website vcdh.virginia.edu does an immaculate job at presenting information on runaway or captured slaves through the different material they strive provide. A heavy strength for this website includes its various ways of […]

(A.1) Lest We Forget: The Triumph Over Slavery (NYPL): http://digital.nypl.org/lwf/flash.html STRENGTHS:  The historical narrative of the slaves’ experience was well delivered.

I decided to review website pair D. The first website is called “Revisiting Rebellion: Nat Turner in the American imagination”(https://americanantiquarian.org/NatTurner/).  This website has one header with a simple graphic and a few tabs along the side of the page so you can pick which part […]

Hi my name is Diya! I joined this course a bit late which is why this post is being posted pretty late. I am a freshmen this year majoring in Human Biology. I’m taking this course because it seems really interesting to me. I want […]

I chose section B for review   First Website ‘Freedom on the Move’ is visually comforting to a person who is about to research history. It is accessible, the home page has good content and displays the “About” of the project, their team, Institutions, funding […]
