 ffic\, Slave Trading in the Civil War South\n\nFrom Fort Sumter to Appomat
 tox\, Confederates bought and sold thousands of men\, women\, and children
  through a surviving trade in slaves. 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.
