Summary
The Jewish influence over the burgeoning colonial commerce had been well estab-
lished in key seaboard locations by the American Revolution. The trade channels of the Car-
ibbean had now expanded to include the North American settlements and Jews were clearly
the pioneers. The overland routes to the western fur trading posts were well-worn by Jewish
peddlers and supply routes to the Royal armies almost exclusively carried the goods of Jewish
merchants. They exploited these opportunities and gained advantages by rooting themselves
firmly in the urban centers of the New World.
With the Jews and their skillful commercial practices came their Black slaves. The
condition of the Black African remained unchanged with this northward migration. He
adapted to the commercial flexibility of the various Jewish enterprises providing the essential
ingredients - skill and brawn - which made the Latin/Jewish experience so profitable. For the
first time, Jews settled into an environment amenable to their economic and social interests
with the freedom to pursue opportunities, and as far as the Africans were concerned, with lit-
tle moral restraint.
As in the settlements to the north, the American South provided opportunities for Jew-
ish entrepreneurial activity. Agricultural commerce was familiar to the New World Jewish
experience, and this experience, and the sweat and blood of the Black slave, facilitated the
transition. Summary
