Inheriting the Trade: A Northern Family Confronts Its Legacy

Inheriting the Trade: A Northern Family Confronts Its Legacy as the Largest Slave-Trading Dynasty in U.S. History

In 2001, Thomas DeWolf discovered that he was related to the most successful slave-trading family in U.S. history, responsible for transporting at least ten thousand Africans. This is his memoir of the journey in which ten family members retraced their ancestors' steps through the notorious triangle trade routeâ€”from New England to West Africa to Cubaâ€”and uncovered the hidden history of New England and the other northern states.
