The Slave Auction.

This is tough Research for me. To thank of the price my ancestors gave for me. The slave auctions where human beings were bought and solded. It was the slave auction where the term auction block came from.

The slave was placed in shackles and led to and elevated stage for inspection, Prior to the live auction. The buyer would walk the block and physically and inhumanly examine the slave. He would pull the slaves mouth open, to see his or her teeth.. The buyer would pinch the slaves limbs to determine their strength. Then make the slave walk to see his or her mobility.

One story i read tells of a slave auction, near  Savanna Georga. Described as a choice lot of 436 men women and children slaves. Before the sale slaves were kept in pens. At the sale Families were broken up an solded apart. I read where one slave women beg the high bidder to bid for her child. For her pleading she was whiped. The slave had no rights that the  white slaver was bound to honor.

Well as a Black American researching the slave auction it was hard for me to do. But i had to do it after all this is a post on American Black History.

I will close on this note,the way so many people in America were bought and solded. Its a wonder any Americans Black are White really know who there kin are.
