Abstract

After 1831, the slave trade moved to natural harbors on the littoral, where it employed scores of people catering, healing, guarding the survivors, burying the dead. Smaller boats also helped the slave ships to reach the coast. The local population found new opportunities of employment and trade. Slave dealers had to buy or rent those lands, or associate themselves with their owners. The illegal slave trade would change the local economy and politics.
