Newport, Rhode Island

Aye, matey, Newport, Rhode Island’s history is a tangled yarn of wealth, trade, and dark deeds. In the 18th century, this seaside gem was a bustling port, but its riches had a grim underbelly. Newport was North America’s top hub for slave ships, launching over 900 voyages to Africa between 1725 and 1808, hauling over 100,000 enslaved souls to the Americas and West Indies. The “Triangular Trade” was the engine: Rhode Island rum, distilled from Caribbean molasses, was swapped for captives in West Africa, who were then sold for more molasses or cash in the Caribbean or southern colonies. Newport had 22 rum distilleries by the mid-1700s, fueling this brutal cycle. Families like the Vernons and DeWolfs grew fat with "old money" off this trade. The Vernons, Newport merchants, bankrolled 30 slaving ventures, while the DeWolfs of nearby Bristol were America’s biggest slave-trading dynasty, with over 80 illegal voyages. Their profits built mansions, banks, and even the Redwood Library, still standing today. Enslaved Africans, making up nearly a quarter of Newport’s population by the 1750s, toiled as sailors, craftsmen, and dockworkers, shaping the city’s maritime might. Yet, Newport wasn’t just a den of slavers. A small abolitionist crew, like Rev. Samuel Hopkins, preached against the trade, and some enslaved folks, like Caesar Lyndon, carved out lives of resilience, earning money and freedom despite the chains. By the Gilded Age, Newport’s dark past was polished over as robber barons like the Vanderbilts built lavish “cottages” like The Breakers, turning the city into a playground for the elite Cape Cod
Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket
New York City to the south.

been told to explore under the earth, where the secrets are hidden

Exploring North Boston, and ducking into a dark alley, led by a young man selling fireworks in a large paper bag with handles. Suddenly, they hear police sirens, and their guide runs out of the alley, trying to escape. They see this, and duck deeper into the alley for cover. Pretty much accepting that there's no escape, they find a hidden shaft, and descend the metal ladder many feet down into the earth.

The shaft terminates into a large room, but they have no flashlight and can't see in the pitch-black darkness. Moving along the wall by feel, they encounter a large mirror, seemingly built right into the stone, but when they pause too long, it begins to shimmer, giving off a pale green light, illuminaing the abandoned subway tunnel.
