Topic: “The U.S. Navy’s Anti-Slavery Patrol 1842-1862”
From 1807 onward, it was illegal to import slaves into the United States from Africa.
In this lecture you’ll learn about the illegal slave trade in Africa, the Caribbean, and Florida.
You’ll also learn the little-known story of brave American naval sailors who tried from 1842 to 1862
to stop this horrific traffic in misery, and Florida’s surprising role in that effort.
