Slave Dealers 1855 Memphis Tennessee
Slavery and enslavement are both the state and the condition of being a slave—someone forbidden to quit one's service for an enslaver, and who is treated by the enslaver as property. Slavery typically involves slaves being made to perform some form of work while also having their location or residence dictated by the enslaver. Many historical cases of enslavement occurred as a result of breaking the law, becoming indebted, or suffering a military defeat; other forms of slavery were instituted along demographic lines such as Racism, race. Slaves may be kept in bondage for life or for a fixed period of time, after which they would be Manumission, granted freedom. Although slavery is usually involuntary and involves coercion, there are also cases where people voluntary slavery, voluntarily enter into slavery to pay a debt or earn money due to poverty. In the course of human history, slavery was a typical feature of civilization, and was legal in most societies, but it is no ...

Andrew Jackson And The Slave Trade In The United States
The question of whether Andrew Jackson (lifespan 1767–1845, presidency 1829–1837) had been a "negro trader" was a campaign issue during the 1828 United States presidential election. Jackson denied the charges, and the issue failed to connect with the electorate. However, Jackson had indeed been a speculator in slaves, participating in the Slave trade in the United States, interregional trade between Nashville, Tennessee, and the slave markets of the lower Mississippi River valley. Jackson bought and sold slaves from 1788 until 1844, both for "personal use" on his property and for short-term gain through slave arbitrage. While Jackson had a number of business interests in Tennessee, many of Jackson's "negro speculation" slave sales took place in Mississippi's Natchez District, Louisiana's Feliciana Parish, Louisiana, Feliciana Parishes, and in New Orleans. Jackson seems to have sometimes accepted slaves as a form of payment for debts owed him. Others were acquired when Jack ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

History Of Slavery In Tennessee
African Americans are the second largest ethnic group in the state of Tennessee after whites, making up 17% of the state's population in 2010. African Americans arrived in the region prior to statehood. They lived both as slaves and as free citizens with restricted rights up to the Civil War. The state, and particularly the major cities of Memphis and Nashville, have been important sites in African-American culture and the Civil Rights Movement. The majority of African Americans in Tennessee reside in the western part of the state, which had a concentration of large cotton plantations in the antebellum period. Many freedmen stayed in the region after emancipation and the abolition of slavery. Historically there have been much smaller Black populations in the Middle Tennessee and East Tennessee (Appalachian) regions, because of the different geography and agricultural patterns. Demographics In the 2010 Census, 1,057,315 Tennessee residents were identified as African Am ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

This is a list of slave traders of the United States, people whose occupation or business was the slave trade in the United States, i.e. the buying and selling of human chattel as commodities, primarily African-American people in the Southern United States, from the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776 until the defeat of the Confederate States of America in 1865. The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves was passed in 1808 under the so-called Star-Spangled Banner flag, when there were 15 states in the Union, closing the transatlantic slave trade and setting the stage for the interstate slave trade in the U.S. Over 50 years later, in 1865, the last American slave sale was made somewhere in the rebel Confederacy. In the intervening years, the politics surrounding the addition of 20 new states to the Union had been almost overwhelmingly dominated by whether or not those states would have legal slavery. Slavery was widespread, so slave trading was widespread, and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
