American slavery in the antebellum period was characterized by a
massive wave of forced migration as millions of slaves were moved
across state lines to the expanding southwest, scattered locally,
and sold or hired out in towns and cities across the South. This
book sheds new light on domestic forced migration by examining the
experiences of American-born slave migrants from a comparative
perspective. Juxtaposing and contrasting the experiences of
long-distance, local, and urban slave migrants, it analyzes how
different migrant groups anticipated, reacted to, and experienced
forced removal, as well as how they adapted to their new homes.
