In his groundbreaking new book, Hidden Figures: The Untold Story of How Domestic Slave Traders Shaped America, historian John Smith uncovers the hidden history of how domestic slave traders played a pivotal role in shaping the United States.

Drawing on extensive research, Smith uncovers the identities, motivations, and strategies of these individuals, shedding light on a largely unknown chapter in American history.

The book reveals that domestic slave traders were not simply passive bystanders in the transatlantic slave trade. Instead, they were active participants who played a key role in the development of the American economy and society.

Domestic slave traders were responsible for transporting millions of enslaved Africans from the Upper South to the Lower South. They also played a major role in the development of the cotton industry, which was the backbone of the American economy in the antebellum period.

In addition to their economic role, domestic slave traders also played a significant role in the development of American politics and culture. They were often active in local and state politics, and they helped to shape the racial attitudes of white Americans.

Hidden Figures is a groundbreaking work of scholarship that sheds new light on the history of slavery in the United States. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, race relations, or the history of slavery.
