June Topic: The Indian Slave Trade, Bacon’s Rebellion, and It’s Roll in The Expansion of the Transatlantic African Slave Trade.
When a prominent genealogist said the Indian slave trade did not happen, I felt compelled to find primary sources documenting its roll in Bacon’s Rebellion of 1676 and how it laid the foundation for the expansion of the transatlantic slave trade. Come and find out how an almost erased history can be found and where to look. I will share the journey of peeling back the layers with an extensive syllabus of sources, repositories, and scholars and the process that uncovered the untold story.
