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
