Long after the transatlantic slave trade was officially outlawed in the early nineteenth century by every major slave trading nation, merchants based in the United States were still sending hundreds of illegal slave ships from American ports to the African coast. The key instigators were slave traders who moved to New York City after the shuttering of the massive illegal slave trade to Brazil in 1850. These traffickers were determined to make Lower Manhattan a key hub in the illegal slave trade to Cuba. In conjunction with allies in Africa and Cuba, they ensnared around two hundred thousand African men, women, and children during the 1850s and 1860s. John Harris explores how the U.S. government went from ignoring, and even abetting, this illegal trade to helping to shut it down completely in 1867. 000945707 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000945707 650_0 $$aSlave trade$$zNew York (State)$$zNew York$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000945707 650_0 $$aSlave trade$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000945707 650_0 $$aSlavery$$zNew York (State)$$zNew York$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000945707 650_0 $$aSlavery$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000945707 650_0 $$aSlave ships$$zAtlantic Ocean. 000945707 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHarris, John$$tThe Last Slave Ships : New York and the End of the Middle Passage$$dNew Haven : Yale University Press,c2020$$z9780300247336$$w(OCoLC)1146553644 000945707 85280 $$bebk$$heBooks on EBSCOhost 000945707 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=2662042$$zOnline Access 000945707 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:945707$$pGLOBAL_SET 000945707 980__ $$aEBOOK 000945707 980__ $$aBIB 000945707 982__ $$aEbook 000945707 983__ $$aOnline
