SUMMARY:An Unholy Traffic: Virtual Talk with Dr. Robert Colby
DESCRIPTION:Between Fort Sumter and Appomattox\, Confederates bought and sold thousands of men\, women\, and children through a persistent trade in enslaved people. These transactions had profound impacts on the enslaved\, their lives and families\, and the ways in which they pursued freedom during the war and shaped the experience of the Civil War and its aftermath for all inhabitants of the wartime South. \n\n\n\nRobert Colby is an Assistant Professor of History at the University of Mississippi. His first book\, An Unholy Traffic: Slave Trading in the Civil War South\, was published in 2024 by Oxford University Press\, and was listed as one of the best Civil War books of 2024 by the Civil War Monitor. His research has won awards from the Society of American Historians and the Society of Civil War Historians and has been published in the Journal of the Civil War Era\, Journal of the Early Republic\, and Slavery & Abolition.
