In 1833, the schooner Lafayette left port in Alexandria, Virginia carrying 83 enslaved women, men, and children. All of them were recorded as cargo on the ship's manifest, pictured here. Although the Lafayette was bound for Natchez, Mississippi, the ultimate fate of its enslaved passengers is unknown. It is likely that most never saw their family members in Virginia again. Swipe to look closer and read their names.
What these women, men, and children experienced on the Lafayette had deep roots in our nation's history. Centuries before, on August 20, 1619, ships arrived in Jamestown, Virginia carrying kidnapped Africans. Their arrival was neither the beginning nor the end of the transatlantic slave trade. Between the 1600s and the early 1800s, more than ten million Africans were forcefully imported to the Caribbean and Americas. At least 388,000 were brought to the United States before U.S. law banned importation in 1808.
Within the United States, nearly one million enslaved Africans and African Americans were wrenched from their families in the upper South and transported by enslavers into lower South the as part of the domestic slave trade. The trade created enormous profits not only for Southern planters and slave traders, but also for Northern cotton-mill owners and investors.
Today, we're joining @nmaahc and other parts of the @スミソニアン博物館 to reflect on the historic anniversary of #Jamestown400 and to explore how people of African descent have shaped our nation since before its founding. #ANationsStory
