About This Item
Charleston: Steam Power Press of Walker, Evans & Co, 1858. First Edition. Pamphlet. Very Good. A Southerner argues that a revived foreign slave trade was crucial to the Southern economy. Spratt believed that bringing newly enslaved people to the US from Africa would reduce the price of slaves in the United States, lower labor costs, and put enslavement of Africans within the economic reach of the average Southern man. His views were not widely adopted, in large part because existing enslavers did not want to see their property devalued. Indeed, Virginia joined the Confederacy with the condition that the ban on imported slaves would be continued (see Conrad, In the Hands of Strangers, p. 427-428).
