Yankee traders is a term used historically to refer to American merchants and drug smugglers, particularly around the turn of the 19th century.[1] Many of the Yankee traders came from Boston or other New England ports — hence the appellation "Yankee".[1] They were reputed to be particularly shrewd and independent.[2]
