Even though the war destroyed th e cotton economy that had long underpinned American slavery and fueled the slave 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 ward off inflation or to buy shares in the slaveholding future for whic h they fought. Still others traded people to keep them from achieving the freedom the war offered. For those held in slavery\, meanwhile\, the survi ving slave trade dramatically shaped the ways in which they encountered li berty\, yanking many back into bondage while inspiring others to risk flig ht. \n\nDr. Robert Colby is an assistant professor at the University of Mi ssissippi and is the author of An Unholy Traffic: Slave Trading in the Civ il War South. Proceeds from the event support Freedom House Museum.\n\n\nL ocation: Lyceum\nFees: $15/OHA Members $12\nAudience: Anyone may attend\nT ags: Black History\, Lyceum\, Museums\n\nImport this event into your calen dar: http://apps.alexandriava.gov/CalendarTest/iCal.aspx?id=1&si=57403\n\n Web resources:\n\nTickets here\nhttps://shop.alexandriava.gov/Events.aspx\ n DTEND:20240615T003000Z DTSTAMP:20240416T135628Z DTSTART:20240614T230000Z LOCATION:Lyceum SEQUENCE:5 STATUS:CONFIRMED SUMMARY:Lecture: Slave Trading in the Civil War South TRANSP:OPAQUE UID:6db64d97-c9e4-4456-8784-7cf40f63b83b URL:https://shop.alexandriava.gov/Events.aspx X-COA-DTSTAMP:20240416T135628Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
