  Traffic\, Slave Trading in the Civil War South\n\nFrom Fort Sumter to App
 omattox\, Confederates bought and sold thousands of men\, women\, and chil
 dren through a surviving trade in slaves. 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
