able to acquire slaves. However, a corresponding rise in competition accompanied the bull market, leading to increasingly high prices for enslaved people in
Virginia. However, these were generally outmatched by demand in the Deep South, shipping around a hundred individuals during the 1832–1833 season
648:
Although the following seasons were less lucrative, Saunders continued to profit from a booming slave market, as significant plantation expansion followed in the wake of Indian removal and the Trail of Tears. An active banking sector allowed for easy access to loans, compounding the number of farmers

15/16 - Again, this mostly looks good. I'm not seeing support for the deflated prices in
Virginia. Sublette quotes him as mentioning "fair prices", not low prices. Rothman quotes him wanting to "reduce the price of slaves in this market", but it's not clear that market was Virginia; it seems like
701:
here, but you're right that it isn't exactly clear. I don't think he'd be talking about New
Orleans, since it seems that they would want prices as high as possible in Louisiana and as low as possible in Virginia. In any case, I tuned down the description of the prices in Virginia. -
575:
On the whole this is well written. However, I confess I found some sections hard to follow, especially the
Fraudulent Trade in Louisiana section. I don't know much about this period of history, and the article often uses passive voice, making it unclear who exactly is doing what:
639:- I had to read this a few times to realize that "The ability to violate legislation created a boom" was effectively saying "They made money by breaking the law". I think this would be clearer if the subject of the sentence was Franklin & Armfield, not "the ability".
651:- I find this whole paragraph hard to follow. It's compressing a lot of history I never learned, and the "x, but y, but z" structure makes me feel like I can't find my footing. In the last sentence, who or what is shipping a hundred people? Saunders? The Deep South?
684:
9/10 - This mostly looks good. The article says he sold six young slaves to
Franklin, but the source seems to mention seven ("Four days later, Saunders sold four other young men, a teenaged boy, and two teenaged girls to Isaac Franklin for $ 3,500 cash")
737:
This article is very reliant on a single source, but it's clearly a good source. I didn't find anything else on JSTOR or through
Googling, so I can't point to anything you should have used instead. I think this is good for GA.
733:
I think you've addressed everything I noticed. If you decide to push this to FAC, I would recommend adding a
Background section to provide a bit more historical context, although I don't think that's necessary for GA.
614:
Slaves could also be sold "at sea", with buyers in New
Orleans purchasing the slaves while the ship was en route, thereby introducing their own property into the state, outlined in the legislation as a legal
580:
The whereabouts of the escaped slave had been discovered the day before setting sail, and
Saunders hired agents to attempt to capture the fugitive in order to recuperate some of his continued financial

The ability, albeit temporary, for
Franklin & Armfield and their associates to violate the Louisiana legislation created a significant boom greatly capitalized on by Saunders.

Source spot checks are solid. I noticed a few small things, but otherwise the info in the article is well sourced and I didn't catch any close paraphrasing.

Despite urging of caution, Saunders continued making large purchases of slaves, having sent 17 slaves to Franklin & Armfield by September 1831
204:
151:
81:
605:- It's not clear what this entailed. Did Saunders lie on a form? The passive voice here sounds awkward, like the article denies him agency.

27 - Mostly looks good. The source says he died in March, but doesn't specify March 19th. Where does that specific date come from?
339:
594:- Who urged caution to whom, and about what? Did Franklin tell Saunders to be cautious buying slaves because sales were down?

Saunders never formally acknowledged his children, although most of his children received inheritance as part of his will
