In addition, the development of an extensive local trade meant that the domestic trade, in all its configurations, was a prominent feature in southern life.

Produktbeschreibung
In addition, the development of an extensive local trade meant that the domestic trade, in all its configurations, was a prominent feature in southern life. Yet, this indispensable part of the slave system also raised many troubling questions. For those outside the South, it affected their impression of both the region and the new nation. For slaveholders, it proved to be the most difficult part of their institution to defend. And for those who found themselves commodities in this trade, it was something that needed to be resisted at all costs. "Carry Me Back" restores the domestic slave trade to the prominent place that it deserves in early American history, exposing the many complexities of southern slavery and antebellum American life.
This book represents a detailed accounting of the movement of slaves from market to market within the United States, as well as an examination of the lives of those operating and participating in the business world of those markets. The book considers the impact of the slave trade on American life writ large, making this a major contribution to American history prior to Reconstruction.
