I am working on revising this paper right now. TLDR: There never was a crisis in Lower Canada, the economy grew at a modest but clearly positive rate! There were also significant improvements in other dimensions of living standards (Infant mortality, literacy) #econtwitter

I'm glad to see this paper by Bleakley and Rhode out now. It's probably the most important thing written on the economics of slavery since Gavin Wright's "Slavery and American Economic Development" in 2006
