Lecture: An Unholy Traffic\, Slave Trading in the Civil War South\n
\n
From Fort Sumter to Appomattox\, Confederates bo ught and sold thousands of men\, women\, and children through a surviving trade in slaves. Even though the war destroyed the cotton economy that h ad long underpinned American slavery and fueled the slave trade\, Confede rates 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 ward off inflati on or to buy shares in the slaveholding future for which they fought. Sti ll others traded people to keep them from achieving the freedom the war o ffered. For those held in slavery\, meanwhile\, the surviving slave trade dramatically shaped the ways in which they encountered liberty\, yanking many back into bondage while inspiring others to risk flight. \n
