James A. McMillin. The Final Victims: Foreign Slave Trade to North America, 1783–1810. (The Carolina Lowcountry and the Atlantic World.) Columbia: University of South Carolina Press. 2004. Pp. xi, 207. $39.95.

Between 1790 and 1810, the slave population of the United States grew by eighty-five percent, to nearly 1.25 million. Much of this growth was the result of natural increase, but how much involved new arrivals? The most widely accepted estimates of slave imports into mainland North America after 1780 have ranged between 70,000 and 113,000. Now, after careful work with a large body of data, James A. McMillin offers a new, more accurate, and much higher estimate: 170,300, almost all originating in Africa. McMillin provides a thorough explanation of how he arrived at the figure and, on a CD-Rom, his database, which holds records of nearly 700 slave ships, names of over 1,500 people involved, and much more.
