This site had a lot of information about slavery and what I liked the most about it was the fact that the information was divided up into different time periods.  Not only could you read about information that would tell you about slavery during various time periods, the site also had information about religion and slavery, and about more current slave problems.  The site discussed slavery during World War II and about Japanese women who were kept as slaves along with Nazi concentration camps and how the Nazis forced their prisoners to work under harsh conditions.  Another really great thing about this site is the fact that they pull quotes from various historical books, and also have personal quotes from people who were once slaves or had family members who were slaves.  The site has a list of about six or seven other sources where they got their information from so if you wanted to specifically concentrate on one topic of slavery, you could find out where this site drew their information from.  They also gave an indepth time line for slavery throughout the 19th century which will help anyone who has to do the Slavery Debates for their Social Studies procject.
