“SLAVERY in the North”

Presented by Susan Harvey

Ms. Harvey found, while doing genealogy research, that she was a direct descendant of the Morse family, the first settlers of Newbury in 1635, an area involved in the transatlantic slave trade.

We tend to think of the issue of slavery in the United States as being a Southern problem because the North didn’t have the same sort of slave plantations.  But it is our economic ties to the transatlantic slave trade that implicate New England in the monumental tragedy that took the lives of millions of human beings and, in doing so, formed the basis of America’s economy.
