“…High birth rates and low mortality rates contributed to an exceptional rate of natural increase. In addition,Collins (1904) lists extensive evidence that at least 270,000 enslaved were introduced into the US from 1808 to 1860; the importation of enslaved workers from abroad had been prohibited by 1808, but the laws were not entirely effective.13 See, e.g.,Kerr and Nanda (2015),Nanda and Rhodes-Kropf (2017), and Chemmanur and Tian (2018).…”

This article provides new evidence on how access to finance affects technological innovation and establishes the role of labor practices in shaping this relation. We exploit a unique setting, pre-Civil War America, where staggered adoption of free banking laws across states encouraged bank entry, and variation in the use of exploited workers in agriculture generated differences in producers’ demands for labor-saving technologies. Results show that access to finance spurred innovation; the positive effect on agricultural innovation diminished with labor exploitation. We establish the causal role of labor exploitation using the 1850s cholera pandemic and the influx of Irish immigrants.

The selective buying habits of traders provide a method for estimating the share of sales in the interregional movement of slaves within the southern United States. Estimates are derived by comparing information about the slaves chosen by traders with information about all migrants. To derived their estimate, Fogel and Engerman (1974) used information about the sex of the migrants; Tadman (1989) used information about their ages. In this paper, I show how their estimating equations are algebraically equivalent. Using regression analysis and additional data originally published by Tadman, I estimate that the slave trade accounted for approximately one-half of the interregional movement of slaves.
