Correspondence from Planters and Traders, 1694-1776

Collection: Slavery Through Time: from Enslavers to Abolitionists, 1675–1865 Volumes Correspondence from Planters and Traders, 1694-1776

This correspondence is derived from two different sources. The documents from Lascelles and Maxwell are focussed upon trade and cover slavery where it plays a part in the business. The Samuel Martin papers focus on Antigua as they are derived from a planter who was based in Antigua; unlike the Lascelles and Maxwell content, their focus is personal. This combination of correspondence yields both a personal and a business perspective with regard to the role of plantations.
