  • Slave Trading in the Ante-Bellum South

    Michael TadmanCHAPTERSlave Trade and Migration2019

    The domestic slave trade has always bulked large in discussions of the character of American ante-bellum slavery. Assumptions and arguments about the nature of master-slave relations, about family separations, and about the slave family have necessarily had much to do with slave sales and with the extent and character of the domestic traffic in slaves. Bancroft’s study argued that the inter-regional traffic in slaves assumed massive proportions. …

    This article reviews scholarship on internal slave trades in the Americas. Intra-regional slave trades in the Americas have often left few records and have been little noticed by historians. In many cases, historians have probably ignored significant inter-regional trades that pre-dated the era of abolition. The internal slave trades that have been most researched are long-distance trades that operated under the critical attention of active aboli…

  • The Reputation of the Slave Trader in Southern History and the Social Memory of the South

    Michael TadmanARTICLEAmerican Nineteenth Century History2007

    Proslavery propagandists developed a standard line on the domestic slave trade: the trade was of only marginal importance to the system of slavery, and the trader was an outcast. In recent decades, historians have recognised a strong propaganda element in this position but—even in recent specialist studies of the trade—the assumption has been that notions of paternalism must have caused owners to feel a measure of unease in dealing with the trade…

  • The Interregional Slave Trade in the History and Myth-Making of the U.S. South

    Michael TadmanCHAPTERThe chattel principle2005

    This chapter addresses the problems posed by the domestic slave trade due to its curious place within southern history. This problem is especially apparent to those seeking to portray slavery as a benign and paternal institution. In antebellum polemics about the slavery controversy, white southern propagandists pretended that the trade was of only marginal importance and that slave traders were social outcasts: in the post-slavery years, the hidi…
