Slave traders are peripheral figures in most histories of American slavery. But these men - who trafficked and sold over half a million enslaved people from the Upper South to the Deep South - were essential to slavery's expansion and fueled the growth and prosperity of the United States. In The Ledger and the Chain, acclaimed historian Joshua D. Rothman recounts the shocking story of the domestic slave trade by tracing the lives and careers of Isaac Franklin, John Armfield, and Rice Ballard, who built the largest and most powerful slave-trading operation in American history.

This is a Historical Study! And a Great Read
Revisado: 08-15-22
Some other reviewers seem to not understand that this is a historical study, so facts and research make up much of the content. That said, Rothman does an amazing job of stringing together disturbing, fascinating, and heart-rending stories about slave trafficking, as well as illustrating the elaborate and complex capitalist machine that drove the trade. Highly recommend!
