摘要

At the outbreak of the American Civil War, Richmond and New Orleans were seemingly very different cities. One was the capital city of the Old Dominion, a state often associated with a stagnating agricultural economy and often described by observers as conservative in its social norms; the other was a city with a booming economy and extensive trade from the rich agricultural lands along the Mississippi River, often described as the seat of debauched and decadent behavior. Nevertheless, they shared one feature in common: they were the two largest slave-trading markets in the United States in the 1840s and 1850s. Additionally, they were two endpoints of an internal American slave trade, a trade worth millions annually. Slaves sold in Richmond, for example, were often purchased by other dealers, transported hundreds of miles by land, ship, or railroad, and then resold in New Orleans, where they were forced to labor in the newly expanding cotton and sugar fields and fueled the economic boom of the region.
