Hundreds of thousands of captive Africans continued their journeys after the Middle Passage across the Atlantic. Colonial merchants purchased and then trans-shipped many of these captives to other colonies for resale. Drawing on a database of more than 7,000 intercolonial slave trading voyages compiled from port records, newspapers, and merchant accounts, the book identifies and quantifies the major routes of this intercolonial slave trade Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Online resource (HeinOnline, viewed March 17, 2017) Subject Slave trade -- Great Britain -- Colonies -- History Slave trade -- Great Britain -- History SOCIAL SCIENCE -- Slavery.
