Trying to find "slave music" for a US Hisory Project...

[DrumminBoy]

My partner and I are making a Power Point presentation tomorrow on the "Culture of Slavery" for our AP US History class, and im trying to find some songs that i could include in the presentation. If any of you are familiar with the movie Glory, I'd like to find something similar to what they sing around the fire the night before they go into battle (i think). Google hasnt turned up much, and kazaa brought up britney spears songs, so im kinda lost here. Also, if you know any sites that have any good pictures portraying slavery, those would be helpful also.

Check out the music from the miniseries "Roots". The main theme song is especially good.

I've been trying to download Dixie forever, my family is from the south so we sing it all the time, but I can't find it anywhere :|
