"The bills of sale from Mexico show that the slave trade did not collapse with the end of the Portuguese asiento in 1640. A growing population of American-born Creoles sustained the market during the subsequent decades, along with a modest number of new African arrivals. In the 18th century, slavery remained integral to Central Mexico's economy." –description from Libreria Urbe
