Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1834 a Mason County, Kentucky, slave trader, John W. Anderson, fell on a corn stalk in a field while chasing a runaway slave. The fall caused his death and thus ended one of the most lucrative slave-trading businesses in north-central Kentucky. With the aid of several wealthy investors, Anderson gathered slaves and transported them down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to markets in Natchez and New Orleans. His profits were great and he expanded his land holdings in Mason and Bracken Counties to almost 1000 acres. At the time of his death, he had stored on his farm in his jailhouse nearly four dozen men, women, and children. After Anderson's death, James McMillen another Mason County resident replaced him and grew the enterprise and marketed slaves in Lexington with trader Lewis Robards. Prior to Anderson, McMillen, and Robards, Edward Stone of nearby Paris, Kentucky, was transporting dozens of slaves on flatboats to New Orleans. However, in 1826 Stone and five other men were killed when the slaves onboard flatboats mutinied and fled into Indiana. Stone's will, inventory, and bill of sales gives modern researchers a clear vision into Kentucky's "peculiar institution."

Book excerpt: Backcountry Slave Trader explores the life of William James Smith, a South Carolina backcountry slave trader, whose entries in his business ledger and his correspondence were of unusual specificity. The authors’ analyze these entries and his correspondence, which they argue provide details about the institutional features of the domestic slave trade not found in earlier published works. The authors examine the attitude of Smith and how he conducted his business, and reveal that the interior slave trade and the characterization of the slave trader are more nuanced than previously thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An award-winning historian reveals the harrowing forgotten story of America's internal slave trade—and its role in the making of America. Slave traders are peripheral figures in most histories of American slavery. But these men—who trafficked and sold over half a million enslaved people from the Upper South to the Deep South—were essential to slavery's expansion and fueled the growth and prosperity of the United States. In The Ledger and the Chain, acclaimed historian Joshua D. Rothman recounts the shocking story of the domestic slave trade by tracing the lives and careers of Isaac Franklin, John Armfield, and Rice Ballard, who built the largest and most powerful slave-trading operation in American history. Far from social outcasts, they were rich and widely respected businessmen, and their company sat at the center of capital flows connecting southern fields to northeastern banks. Bringing together entrepreneurial ambition and remorseless violence toward enslaved people, domestic slave traders produced an atrocity that forever transformed the nation.
