Framed Print of Slave Market Auction, 1856
Slavery in grimmest realism. Prices ranged from $750 for Reuben, "unsound, " to $2, 700 for Anderson, "a No. 1 bricklayer and mason." The Atlantic slave trade took place across the Atlantic Ocean from the 16th through to the 19th centuries. The majority of those enslaved that were transported to the New World, were West Africans from the central and western parts of the continent sold by West Africans to Western European slave traders, or by direct European capture to the Americas. Slavery in the United States was the legal institution of chattel slavery that existed in the United States of America in the 18th and 19th centuries. After the Revolutionary War, abolitionist laws and sentiment gradually spread in the Northern states, while the rapid expansion of the cotton industry from 1800 led to the Southern states to depend on slavery as integral to their economy, and they attempted to extend it as an institution into the new Western territories. The United States was polarized by slavery into slave and free states along the Mason-Dixon Line, which separated Maryland (slave) and Pennsylvania (free). Although the international slave trade was prohibited from 1808, internal slave-trading continued at a rapid pace, causing the forced migration of more than one million slaves from the Upper South to the Deep South in the antebellum years. The total slave population in the South eventually reached four million before abolition. © Researchers / Science Source
