This website provided me with information on Whitman's life right before his death. This was important information for me to have because all of the books I borrowed from the library simply stated his death in Camden.

This website provided me with information about the Temperance Movement: its cause for starting and ending and the effects it created. It contributed to my understanding of why Whitman was effected by the movement, and how that played a role in his writing.

This book, an insanely descriptive account of Whitman’s connection to slavery, provided me with an abundance of information. The book provided a linear description of events surrounding slavery during Whitman’s lifetime and also how Whitman reflected on these events in his writing.
