Painting of a Slave Auction |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| This undated painting of a slave auction shows well-dressed gentlemen making bids for slave laborers. By 1808 America had abolished the importation of slaves, and most northern states had outlawed slavery. The sole source of new slaves came from markets and auctions in the southern states. | ||||||
