• Provides topically arranged access to views expressed in the slave narratives, something never done before

• Offers students both contextual analysis and primary source material so they can draw their own conclusions about various aspects of slavery

• Creates a personalized understanding of the challenges that accompanied enslavement

• Allows various populations, such as previously enslaved women, to speak bluntly about the particular difficulties they faced under slavery
