An Unholy Traffic: Slave Trading in the Civil War South

Robert K. D.  Colby May 1, 2024

Robert K. D. Colby, author of "An Unholy Traffic: Slave Trading in the Civil War South"

Gerry's Opening Monologue -
"This is Gerry Prokopowicz, with Civil War Talk Radio,...

…One of the challenges of reading Civil War history, or any history, is that we know how the story ends. When we're reading about the Civil War, for example, any mention of slavery is bound to remind us that emancipation in the 13th amendment is just around the corner. Once in a while though, we get to read something that makes us aware how people in the 1860s had no idea of what was to come. In the new book, "An Unholy Traffic: Slave Trading in the Civil War South," Professor Robert K. D. Colby describes, among other things, how southern traders continued to buy and sell human beings right to the very end of the war. What were they thinking? That's just one question we'll ask Professor Colby, tonight on Civil War Talk Radio.”
