There isn't just one number for slavery
Depending on the emphasis of the book, in various places:
Slave trade in regards to commerce is 380.1
Slavery as an economic institution is 306.3
The ethics of slavery is 177
Laws regarding slavery in 342
A survey of slavery in regards to political science is 326
Biographies of slaves / abolitionists could be in 921 (92 or B)
History of the US time periods that include slavery could be in 973.--
This is all according the the DDC, abridged, 13th ed. Sorry, the
newest edition is at school. When in doubt consult your edition of
Dewey (hopefully the newest one!) to see why.
