Provides a wealth of information on the ongoing participation of American citizens in Africans slave trade, long after the 1807 ban: "In the year 1819, a member from South Carolina stated on the floor of Congress that in his opinion 13,000 Africans were annually smuggled into the United States." One of the major problems with enforcing the 1807 ban was the disputed right of British naval officers to board ships flying the American flag. Gives specific details of the suffocating small space (2 feet six inches) provided for each slave on a ship packed with 350-450 slaves. With accounts of the seizure of specific ships.
