Black Experiences Documented in Civil War & Reconstruction-era Mississippi Governors’ Papers

This dataset focuses on four subject tags that relate directly to African American experiences that can be found in Mississippi's Civil War and Reconstruction-era governors' papers. By selecting subject tags relating to Black experiences, users can explore cooccurrences (or closely related subject tags) to that term and narrow the data by region, date, or other terms such as the U.S. Army. This dataset is derived from a much larger dataset comprised of every subject tag in the project's collection. As of May 2023, when this dataset was created, it came from over 9,200 documents containing 33,740 subject tags, but our data grows as CWRGM uploads more digitized, transcribed, tagged, and annotated documents to its website at CWRGM.org. Every six months, we provided updated links to allow researchers to download all project data available to date.
