, by Jonathan Daniel Wells (Bold Type Books). This history of eighteen-thirties New York probes the city’s entanglement with the slave economy, which made it “the most potent proslavery and pro-South city north of the Mason-Dixon Line.” Despite the state’s emancipation law of 1817, police marshals and bounty hunters began terrorizing Black communities, abducting several hundred people and selling them into bondage. Alliances between Southern plantation owners and New York bankers, judges, and politicians fostered a system “constructed to cheapen Black lives.” Wells details how the funding of the cotton trade fuelled a nascent Wall Street and admiringly portrays David Ruggles, a Black abolitionist who gave the Kidnapping Club its name and organized to resist it.
