Abstract

[Here Mitchell turns to the Royal African Company’s (RAC) successful campaign in the 1680s against separate traders—illegal English competitors in the African trade—followed by the separate traders’ political counterattack, resulting in the revocation of its monopoly in 1698. Arguing that this victory merely gave the separate traders the opportunity to supplant the Royal African Company, rather than making it inevitable that they would, Mitchell then carries out a statistical study of the 985 individual British investors in the transatlantic slave trade between 1698 and 1732, finding that the bulk of slave-trading activity during this period was the work of 61 knowledgeable, well-capitalized, and socially interconnected investors.]
