There is a website devoted to the history of "slavery" in Birmingham, where black men were arrested for vagrancy and then "rented" to coal mines as "slave" laborers. I only found this a few years ago and until then had known nothing about it.
Been meaning to see if I could find any books on the subject. Thanks.
