James Dewolf And The Rhode Island Slave Trade Ebook Cynthia Mestad Johnson by Cynthia Mestad Johnson 1625850158 instant download after payment.

Over thirty thousand
slaves were brought to the shores of colonial America on ships owned and
captained by James DeWolf. When the United States took action to abolish
slavery, this Bristol native manipulated the legal system and became actively
involved in Rhode Island politics in order to pursue his trading ventures. He
served as a member of the House of Representatives in the state of Rhode Island
and as a United States senator, all while continuing the slave trade years
after passage of the Federal Slave
Trade Act of 1808. DeWolf's political power and central role in
sustaining the state's economy allowed him to evade prosecution from local and
federal authorities—even on counts of murder. Through archival records, author
Cynthia Mestad Johnson uncovers the secrets of James DeWolf and tells an unsettling story of corruption
and exploitation in the Ocean State from slave ships to politics.
