Even though the war destroyed the co tton economy that had long underpinned American slavery and fueled the sla ve trade\, Confederates used slave commerce to shape their experiences of the war\, whether to help them mobilize for the conflict or to weather the numerous crises it created. Some speculated wildly in human property to w ard off inflation or to buy shares in the slaveholding future for which th ey fought. Still others traded people to keep them from achieving the free dom the war offered. For those held in slavery\, meanwhile\, the surviving slave trade dramatically shaped the ways in which they encountered libert y\, yanking many back into bondage while inspiring others to risk flight. \n\nDr. Robert Colby is an assistant professor at the University of Missis sippi and is the author of An Unholy Traffic: Slave Trading in the Civil W ar South. Proceeds from the event support Freedom House Museum.\n\n\nLocat ion: Lyceum\nFees: $15/OHA Members $12\nAudience: Anyone may attend\nTags: Black History\, Lyceum\, Museums\n\nImport this event into your calendar: http://apps.alexandriava.gov/Calendar/iCal.aspx?id=1&si=57403\n\nWeb reso urces:\n\nTickets here\nhttps://shop.alexandriava.gov/Events.aspx\n DTEND:20240615T003000Z DTSTAMP:20240611T033719Z DTSTART:20240614T230000Z LOCATION:Lyceum SEQUENCE:6 STATUS:CANCELLED SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Lecture: Slave Trading in the Civil War South TRANSP:TRANSPARENT UID:6db64d97-c9e4-4456-8784-7cf40f63b83b URL:https://shop.alexandriava.gov/Events.aspx X-COA-DTSTAMP:20240611T033719Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
