Coastwise Slave Trade
The coastwise slave trade existed along the eastern coastal areas of the United States in the antebellum years prior to 1861. Shiploads and boatloads of slaves in the domestic trade were transported from place to place on the waterways. Hundreds of vessels of various sizes and capacities were used to transport the slaves, generally from markets of the Upper South, where there was a surplus of slaves, to the Deep South, where the development of new cotton plantations created high demand for labor. International tensions developed when ships were forced by weather or incident into ports in Bermuda and the British West Indies, as the British freed the slaves as part of the banned trade on the high seas, even before its abolition of slavery in its territories in 1834. There were several cases: ''Comet'' (1830), ''Encomium'' (1833), ''Enterprise'' (1835), '' Hermosa'' (1840) and, most notably, the ''Creole'' case of 1841, the result of a ship slave revolt that forced the vessel into N ...
