    Database that formerly existed only on CD-ROM now fully accessible online. Looks great for primary source research.

    This website provides pictures, essays, maps, and other material that while prove useful during my research.  This website also looks very dependable and factual. This website can be useful to any question that I decide to use.

    This website contains a large amount of information on different slave ship voyages (about 35,000 so it says), along with the two charts Mr. Kogan showed us in class. This source could be useful due to all the information it contains on the number of slaves moved during the period, along with the places they were moved and in what concentration. Basically, it provides a large amount of hard data that could be useful for almost any topic. It has the two charts, along with a number of others, and a very good map that shows embarkation and disembarkation points of slaves in the the Western Hemisphere. There is also a timeline that shows the number of slaves embarking and disembarking from slave ships starting in 1525 and ending in 1867, with the last slave voyage.

    This source uses specific statistics and relates to one of my potential research questions since it discusses causes for changes in the transatlantic slave trade.

      pg. 2 figure in the French Revolution: "[...] Gregoire proclaimed in January 1794: 'The French people have gone beyond all other peoples [...] there is still an enormous gap between what we are and what we could be. Let us hurry to fill this gap; let us reconstitute human nature by giving it a new stamp." Gregoire was a leader who helped start French Revolution?

      pg. 2 "By the end of the decade of revolution, French people (and Westerners more generally) had learned a new political repertoire: ideology appeared as a concept, and competing ideologies challenged the traditional European cosmology of order and harmony; propaganda became associated with political purposes; the Jacobin clubs demonstrated the potential of mass political parties; and Napoleon established the first secular police state with his claim to stand above parties."

      pg. 8 "Most research has been undertaken to test the Marxist account. Army officers, magistrates, and elite cultural institutions of the Old Regime have all been examined in order to determine the reality of prerevolutionary class cleavages."

      pg. 10 "In the Marxist account, liberal constitutionalism, democracy, terror, and authoritarian rule all appear as the handmaidens of the consolidation of bougeois hegemony. In the Tocquevillian analysis, they all serve the progress of centralized power. Revisionist accounts are less consistent in this regard [...] In the writings of Richard Cobb, for instance, revolutionary politics express the resentments and frustrations of a militant minority; there is no compelling historical logic behind their actions."

    Good discussion about the relative merits and faults of traditional encyclopedias vs. Wikipedia. Be sure to read the comments. Yours truly makes an appearance (and a point) that we've discussed in class. Some of the other comments are good and thoughtful as well, especially the one challenging the idea of primary = more trustworthy; secondary = less trustworthy.
