THE BOSTON SLAVE TRADE


The Staunton Vindicator, June 28, 1867, p.1

The Lincolnton, (N. C) "Courier" learns from a reliable source that freedmen are being shipped from various points of the Southern coast, ostensibly as free emigrants to Liberia, but in reality to be disposed of as slaves to Cuban planters. A gentleman from near Columbia, S. C., a prominent leader during the war, purchased a few weeks ago in Cuba, where he has a plantation, one of his former slaves, who had been landed and sold by Boston shippers.
