User talk:Smallbones/List of U.S. congressional slaveholders

Github of data, for easier browsing (and no paywall)

The WP made the data behind its article publicly accessible here. Thought I'd add this here in case it was useful. A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Please ping me! 17:57, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Playing with the formatting of the table

Playing around here with some tweaks, e.g. accessibility bits, linking things, sorting names, playing with column widths, and not abbreviating states. Also, the "notes on identity" is odd, since it's currently mostly "what other high offices did they hold", so changed to that. Pictures would also be nice, though I'm not sure that we have them for the ones that didn't become VP/Pres? Also thinking: a histogram of how many slaveholders/prior slaveholders were in office per year, and a map of which states/areas were represented thusly? That might be a lot of work. --PresN 21:40, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

On images, see Noyes Barber of the 20th Congress, for example, who has no image. A. C. Santacruz ⁂ Please ping me! 22:47, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
