The Constitution allowed the outlawing of the importation of enslaved persons to the United States after 1808. Between then and the Civil War the internal slave trade became an important business in the Southern United States. Most states regulated the slave trade. A few kept records of slave traders and their business. Look for such business registers at state libraries, archives, historical societies, or county courthouses. | The Constitution allowed the outlawing of the importation of enslaved persons to the United States after 1808.
