Freeing captive history

Article Abstract:

Several archaeologists uncovered more evidence of slavery in the North, such as dwellings, graves, and shackles at the sites of plantations where dozens of slaves worked hard on thousands of acres. In Rhode Island, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York, archival records and excavations show that slavery was an economic boon to small farmers, merchants, and landed gentry, who profited from slave labor and supplies sold to slave plantations in the South and in the West Indies.
