Book Reviews : P. D. Curtin, The Atlantic Slave Trade : A Census. Madison, University...Green International Journal of Comparative Sociology.1972; 13: 269-270 This is from the very bottom of the abstract (Talking about the overall trade not the United States) and is cut off at the end http://cos.sagepub.com/cgi/pdf_extract/13/3-4/269 Although imports began to tail off in the final decade of the eighteenth century, there was a growth in the trade in the 1820s, and contrary to the traditional view, the elimination of the British slave trade in 1808 had little apparent effect upon the rate of slaves transported. Curtins figures do confirm the view that British, French, and American naval squadrons had only modest The slave trade: the story of the Atlantic slave trade, 1440-1870 By Hugh Thomas http://books.google.com/books?id=lmPFnzXU7o0C&pg=PA546&lpg= =onepage&q=&f=false As many Africans were probably introduced into the United states in the last twenty years of the eighteenth century and the first eighty years of the nineteenth century as in the entire era since the 1620s. . .In 1806, the United States slaving fleet was said to have been almost three-quarters the size of the British one. These vessels of the former, unlike those of the latter, were, of course, unregulated by anything like the Dolben bill, and so could carry as many salves as their captains saw fit. The transatlantic slave trade: a history By James A. Rawley, Stephen D. Behrendt http://books.google.com/books?id=Sn5pK8rbR5MC&lpg=PA279&pg=PA279 =onepage&q=&f=false Between the recognition of independence (1783) and the abolition of the trade (1808), the United States imported a sizable share of its whole trade, perhaps upward of 55,000 Africans. For the period 1803-1807, the United States was the third most important carrier in the Atlantic world (after Great Brittan and Portugal) transporting about one-seventh of the total transatlantic slave trade Dreams of Africa in Alabama: The Slave Ship Clotilda and the Story of the Last Africans Brought to America. Sylviane A. Diouf. New York: Oxford University Press, 2007. 340 pp. http://www.africa.ufl.edu/asq/v10/v10i2a33.htm voices calling for resumption of the international slave trade, closed in the United States since 1808, grew louder. Illegal importation likely brought thousands into bondage each decade of the antebellum period, particularly through the Republic of Texas and along the Gulf Coast. The trade persisted through a combination, according to Diouf, of "Southern justice, Northern complicity, and Federal apathy" (p. 23). Nevertheless, a federal crackdown after the seizure of the Wanderer's over 200 captives in 1858 inspired Mobile slaveholder Timothy Meaher to import a shipment of Africans on principle. Involved in economic enterprises ranging from shipbuilding to cotton cultivation, Meaher arranged for Captain William Foster to sail to Dahomey. British efforts to foster palm oil production and wean the Dahomey economy from the profitable international slave trade in the early 1850s actually increased the domestic trade. By the late 1850s, King Ghezo, lured by Napolean III's "free immigrants" scheme in Martinique and Guadeloupe, the resurgence of the Cuban slave trade, and American slaveholders' smuggling efforts, openly resumed the trade.
