South Carolina White Slave Traffic is the buying and selling of enslaved African Americans within the borders of South Carolina. It was primarily practiced during the early 19th century and was a form of the broader slave trade in the United States. The most common type of South Carolina White Slave Traffic was the buying and selling of children who were sold by their families in order to earn money or pay off debts. These children were often sold to plantation owners who would then put them to work on their property. Other forms of South Carolina White Slave Traffic included the renting of slaves out for seasonal labor or the sale of enslaved African American women and men as wives and husbands. The buying and selling of enslaved people in South Carolina was illegal and many people were arrested and convicted for participating in it. The practice of White Slave Traffic was eventually abolished in South Carolina in the mid-19th century.
