Advertisement for Slave Auction, 1829 |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| This slave auction advertised slaves for sale or temporary hire by their owners. Buyers often paid $2000 for a skilled, healthy slave. These auctions often separated family members from one another, many of whom never saw their loved ones again. | ||||||
