This monograph by John, Newton. (1788). details his thoughts and feelings on the African slave trade.

J. Fletcher. (1838) gives gruesome descriptions of the slave trade. Slaves were transported in large numbers, thousands per year chained in pairs not by locks but by fastened metal plates with a rivet. some chained to dead bodies, carrying the wait of those who lost their lives during this terrifying and inhumane transportation.

growing cotton meant an expanded interest for slaves. Slaves in the Upper South turned out to be unbelievably more important as a result of this interest for them in the Profound South. They were auctions off in large numbers. This made a Second Center Section, the second biggest constrained movement in America's set of experiences.

The American Anti-Slavery Almanac was published annually by the American Anti-Slavery Society from 1836 to 1843 as part of the Society's attempts to increase awareness of the reality of slavery in nineteenth-century America. The yearly almanac combined astronomical data and calendars with anti-slavery literature, art, and marketing in the form of a compact, elegant pamphlet. The 1843 edition, for example, includes works by authors such as William Lloyd Garrison and Thomas Moore, as well as stories of recent slave rebellions and extracts from political speeches in support of slavery abolition. The almanac did not call for an uprising or violence, but rather served to increase awareness of the anti-slavery movement.

This video gave me the notion that slaved women were crucial especially to slave masters because slavery was hereditary, standing to gain offspring of slaves which would contribute to their wealth. Women were responsible for farming, they fed the families and took care of the young. They were sexually exploited and abused, sold for sexual purposes therefore were very valuable within the slave trade.
