40:23Now PlayingGraduate Student Jessica Rudo joined the North American Society for Oceanic History Video/Podcast to discuss her research into, "Fortifying the Gulf Coast: How the Military Shaped the Maritime Landscape with Slave Rentals." She examines the constructions of Fort Morgan in Mobile, Fort Pickens and the Navy Yard in Pensacola, Fort Taylor in Key West and Fort Jefferson at Dry Tortugas.
The use of slave labor was not unusual in the construction of facilities but largely overlooked where the arrangements and businesses that oversaw the leases of the slaves to the US Government. The beginning of the military-industrial complex can be seen in these large fortifications and we get a glimpse of the lives of the slaves and soldiers in these areas.
