New England's pride in its abolitionist heritage has long obscured the
presence of slavery in the region for over two hundred years from its
first founding to the institution's ultimate demise through schemes of
gradual emancipation. Though New England's role in the conduct of the
slave trade is perhaps better known, the recent compilation of data
related to that trade makes this an auspicious time to examine new
research in this area.
