The Prince of SlaversIntroduction

The Prince of Slavers: Introduction [The career of Humphry Morice occupies a seldom-studied yet crucial point in the development of the British transatlantic slave trade and offers a novel and useful approach to several vexing questions. For instance, the business methods by which independent slave traders, especially Morice, evicted the Royal African Company from the trade it monopolized before 1698 bear implications for the effectiveness of joint-stock companies in conducting early modern oceanic trade. Morice also offers a case study in the connection of Atlantic slavery with the rise of modern capitalism. Furthermore, the study of his mindset and actions toward the human beings he forcibly trafficked adds to the growing literature linking the slaving business with recent researches into the horrors experienced by the victims of Atlantic slavery.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[The career of Humphry Morice occupies a seldom-studied yet crucial point in the development of the British transatlantic slave trade and offers a novel and useful approach to several vexing questions. For instance, the business methods by which independent slave traders, especially Morice, evicted the Royal African Company from the trade it monopolized before 1698 bear implications for the effectiveness of joint-stock companies in conducting early modern oceanic trade. Morice also offers a case study in the connection of Atlantic slavery with the rise of modern capitalism. Furthermore, the study of his mindset and actions toward the human beings he forcibly trafficked adds to the growing literature linking the slaving business with recent researches into the horrors experienced by the victims of Atlantic slavery.]
