About This Book

This historical study traces the origins of slave trading from early African and transatlantic commerce into the development of an internal market in the southern United States, analyzes economic and social causes that sustained the domestic trade, and estimates its scale and geographic reach. It investigates allegations that certain areas bred enslaved people for sale, documents kidnapping and sale of free Black individuals, and describes slave pens, markets, and trader practices. The work also surveys southern state laws governing importation and exportation of enslaved people and compiles documentary sources and bibliography.
