Abstract:

This article examines and calculates the number of slaves imported into North Carolina before slave trade restrictions were imposed in the mid-1790s. Overall slave trade in North Carolina was limited in scope as the state was not part of the triangular trade. Specialized slave merchants in the region were rare as the slave trade was incidental to the activities of the vessels engaging in it. Available records indicate the import of 3,236 slaves through sea routes, almost half from the West Indies.

This version of the Underground Railroad in Wilmington and other sea ports were so effective during the 1st half of the century that runaway slaves often ran to the coast instead of heading north to reach freedom through overland routes.
