This article intercolonial examines such intra-American trafficking as an introduc- tion to the digital project Final Passages: The Intra-American slave trade Slave Trade Database, which aims to document evidence of slave voyages throughout the New World. This article does not provide statistics on this internal slave trade, as across the ongoing research will deliver new data. Instead, we con- solidate qualitative knowledge about these intercolonial Americas before slave routes. As the article focuses on the era prior to British and U.S. abolition of the transatlantic trade (1807-1808), we leave out the nineteenth-century domestic slave tra- the nineteenth des in the United States and Brazil to focus on survivors of the Atlantic crossing who endured subsequent forced century movement within the Americas.
