Colonial governments, in turn, created local legal institutions that enabled people to further leverage their property to obtain credit. Priest shows how loans backed with slaves as property fueled slavery from the colonial era through the Civil War, and how increased access to credit was key to the explosive growth of capitalism in nineteenth-century America.
