The everyday lives of enslaved people were filled with the backbreaking tasks that their enslavers forced them to complete. But in spare moments, they found time in which to earn money and obtain goods for themselves. Enslaved people led vibrant economic lives, cultivating produce and raising livestock to trade and sell. They exchanged goods with nonslaveholding whites and even sold products to their enslavers. Did these pursuits represent a modicum of freedom in the interstices of slavery, or did they further shackle enslaved people by other means?Justene Hill Edwards illuminates the inner workings of the slaves economy and the strategies that enslaved people used to participate in the market. Focusing on South Carolina from the colonial period to the Civil War, she examines how the capitalist development of slavery influenced the economic lives of enslaved people. Hill Edwards demonstrates that as enslavers embraced increasingly capitalist principles, enslaved people slowly lost their economic autonomy. As slaveholders became more profit-oriented in the nineteenth century, they also sought to control enslaved peoples economic behavior and capture the gains. Despite enslaved peoples aptitude for enterprise, their market activities came to be one more part of the violent and exploitative regime that shaped their lives. Drawing on wide-ranging archival research to expand our understanding of racial capitalism, Unfree Markets shows the limits of the connection between economic activity and freedom.

UNFREE MARKETS

COLUMBIA STUDIES IN THE HISTORY OF U.S. CAPITALISM

COLUMBIA STUDIES IN THE HISTORY OF U.S. CAPITALISM

Series Editors: Devin Fergus, Louis Hyman, Bethany Moreton, and Julia Ott

Capitalism has served as an engine of growth, a source of inequality, and a catalyst for conflict in American history. While remaking our material world, capitalisms myriad forms have alteredand been shaped byour most fundamental experiences of race, gender, sexuality, nation, and citizenship. This series takes the full measure of the complexity and significance of capitalism, placing it squarely back at the center of the American experience. By drawing insight and inspiration from a range of disciplines and alloying novel methods of social and cultural analysis with the traditions of labor and business history, our authors take history from the bottom up all the way to the top.

CONTENTS

I ve been writing this book for a long time; in fact, for most of my adult life. This book has taken up space in my mind, startling me awake at night, following me like a shadow. Over the past twelve years, I have thought about this project almost every day. But I did not finish this book by myself. I feel so grateful and privileged to express gratitude to everyone who has helped me along the way. As much as I have been working on this projectand sometimes it has felt like a solitary endeavorwithout the support of my network of friends and family, this book would not be out in the world.

First and foremost, I must thank my mother. Deborah Bryan has been my most vocal supporter from the beginning of this journey. She has been my steadfast cheerleader from the moment she brought me into this world. She instilled in me a confidence that has stayed with me from the moment I stepped into my first classroom as a child.
