Sold for Tobacco: The Forgotten Women Who Built America

This is the true story behind the first “brides” of America: sold, selected, and sacrificed in the name of empire. From starvation and survival to commodified marriage and quiet rebellion, this forgotten chapter of American history reveals how women were the currency that stabilized a colony — and helped build a nation.
