Slavery existed throughout the New World, from Chile and Argentina
in the south to Nova Scotia in the north. Thousands of black people
were enslaved in the Maritimes, Quebec, and Upper Canada between
the seventeenth and early nineteenth centuries. It is not
surprising that slavery played a part in Canadian history, but it
is startling that it has not received wide-spread attention from
the general Canadian public and historians alike. This sourcebook
collects a variety of documents, including runaway slave
advertisements, letters, court cases, and official government
documents, offering readers an opportunity to explore the contours
of black slavery in the Maritimes and revise their broader
understanding of Canadian history.
