Research
Posted by W. Caleb McDaniel
My publications so far have centered on the history of American abolitionism and transatlantic reform. I am also beginning a new research project on slavery, emancipation, and their aftermath in Texas and surrounding regions; all of my notes for this project are available in an open-access wiki. The posts on this page generally cover my research talks, information about smaller writing projects, and my thoughts on new projects as they develop.
