Here's a great site. It was abolished in 1827. They've also found burial sites down by Wall St. Hope this helps.

Today's slavery in NYC is hidden. But there are slaves brought into NYC from third world countries with promises of a good life in the US. There are also many sweat shop paying very low wages (well below the poverty level).
