About This Book

The work offers a sweeping historical survey of the transatlantic trade in enslaved Africans and the development of the American plantation regime, tracing early African exploitation, the Middle Passage, and regional systems—sugar islands, tobacco, rice, and later cotton. It examines the domestic slave trade and westward expansion, plantation types, management practices, labor organization, daily life, and legal and economic frameworks that sustained slavery. Chapters also treat urban slavery and free Black populations, patterns of resistance and crime, and contemporary economic and historiographical debates, combining practical maritime and business detail with analysis of social and institutional consequences.
