We have measured the spin structure of the nucleon in the region of the resonances (final state mass W <{approx} 2 GeV) at intermediate four-momentum transfer Q2 {approx} 1.3 (GeV/c)2. Double-spin inclusive asymmetries for longitudinally polarized 5.75 GeV electrons incident on longitudinal and transverse solid polarized targets were measured in Jefferson Lab's Hall C. Frozen ammonia and deuterated ammonia were used as the polarized materials. The neutron spin structure is extracted from the proton and deuteron asymmetries. We present new results for the proton measured asymmetries A parallel and A perpendicular and spin structure functions g1 and g2, and preliminary results for the deuteron asymmetries. These are the first measurements of the transverse proton and deuteron spin structure in the resonances. We also report on our measurement of the ratio of the proton electromagnetic form factors with our polarized target.
