The Clotilda: Last US Slave Ship
The Clotilda, a schooner, defied the 1808 ban on the slave trade by trafficking 110 individuals from present-day Benin to Mobile Bay, Alabama in 1860. Survivors endured slavery in and around Mobile with some efforts to return home, but the crime's perpetrators remained unpunished. The voyage, believed to start from a bet, was part of a larger scheme to resurrect the US slave trade amidst Civil War tensions, involving influential figures like Frederick Iyer and Benjamin Rush Jones.
