Title: Pro-Abolition, Slave Trade, 1752
Caption: Entitled: "The abolition of the slave trade Or the inhumanity of dealers in human flesh exemplified in Captn. Kimber's treatment of a young Negro girl of 15 for her virjen (sic) modesty." The legal institution of chattel slavery existed in the USA in the 18th and 19th centuries. After the Revolutionary War, abolitionist laws and sentiment gradually spread in the Northern states, while the rapid expansion of the cotton industry from 1800 led to the Southern states to depend on slavery as integral to their economy, and they attempted to extend it as an institution into the new Western territories. Although the international slave trade was prohibited from 1808, internal slave-trading continued at a rapid pace, causing the forced migration of more than one million slaves from the Upper South to the Deep South in the antebellum years. The total slave population in the South eventually reached four million before abolition. Hand colored etching ttributed to Isaac Criukshank, published April 10, 1752.
