The Chattel Principle: Internal Slave Trades in the Americas
The Chattel Principle: Internal Slave Trades in the Americas
Cite
Abstract
This book presents a comparative account of the slave trade within the nations and colonial systems of the Americas. While most scholarly attention to slavery in the Americas has concentrated on international transatlantic trade, the chapters in this volume focus on the slave trades within Brazil, the West Indies, and the Southern states of the United States after the closing of the Atlantic slave trade. The chapters cast new light upon questions that have framed the study of slavery in the Americas for decades and investigates such topics as the illegal slave trade in Cuba, the Creole slave revolt in the U.S., and the debate between pro- and antislavery factions over the interstate slave trade in the South.
