African American Studies - American Slavery American Slave Sales and the Slave Block. True Stories of American Slavery and Slave Sales. By Various. Recollections of American ex-slaves and their Memories of Slave Sales and the Slave Block. The following advertisement appeared in The Georgia Constitutionalist on January 17, 1769: "To be sold in Savannah on Thursday the 15th. inst. a cargo of 140 Prime Slaves, chiefly men. Just arrived in the Scow Gambia Captain Nicholas Doyle after a passage of six weeks directly from the River Gambia." by Inglis and Hall. Most of the advertisements gave descriptions of each slave, with his age and the type of work he could do. They were generally advertised along with other property belonging to the slave owner. "If my mother was livin' she could tell you everything about Virginia. She was one hundred and two when she died. My folks is long livers. "My oldest brother was sold in Virginia and shipped down into Texas about ten years before I was born and I ain't never seen him. "They sold wives from their husbands and children from their parents and they couldn't help it. Just like this war business. Come and draft 'em and they couldn't help it. Norman Burkes, 2305 West Eleventh Street, Pine Bluff, Arkansas Age: 78 at time of interview

About the Author :
Chattel slavery, also called traditional slavery, is so named because people are treated as the chattel (personal property) of an owner and are bought and sold as if they were commodities. It is the least prevalent form of slavery in the world today. An estimated 12 million Africans arrived in the Americas from the 16th to the 19th centuries. Of these, an estimated 645,000 were brought to what is now the United States. The usual estimate is that about 15% of slaves died during the voyage, with mortality rates considerably higher in Africa itself in the process of capturing and transporting indigenous peoples to the ships.
