Abolition in High School History Texts: The Latest Versions.
Groff, Patrick
Negro Educational Review, v32 n2 p27-37 Apr 1981
Compares a survey of 1973-77 high school texts with a similar survey conducted in 1963. Concludes that the greatest change in the texts' discussions of abolition has been the elimination of the previous idealization of the southern slave owner as a benevolent proprietor. (Author/GC)
