There were n o mosques within the city\, so none were available to be included. Nina Ti sara sought to document "the breadth\, variety\, and vitality of worship i n the city."

In August 1837\, a Georgetown resident sold Dorcas Allen and her f our children to James H. Birch\, a District of Columbia slave trader. He t ransported them to the Duke Street pen\, and that evening Allen killed her two youngest children and was restrained from harming the others. In Octo ber\, she appeared before the District Court in Alexandria and pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Her case drew the attention of prominent wh ite men\, such as then-Congressman John Quincy Adams and District Attorney Francis Scott Key\, but remains a story largely unknown. This is story of African American agency in the most desperate of circumstances?when an en slaved mother feels death is better for her children than life in bondage.

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.
