Research-Slavery

In Smuggler's Captain, Nadia is a smuggler of fine goods from mainland Europe, China, and India. She is also vehemently against slavery in any form and refuses to trade with the Americas or the British East India Company. She forges her own contacts. Today we'd call them fair trade.

Here are a couple links along with a book I used for research in writing this story. This is far from an exhaustive list of resources and I am far from an expert.
