We join the auction as the first of the female Negroes are put on display for would be buyers to peruse. Jenny is already attracting some very competitive bidding while her sister Molly, at the back is having her assets evaluated. Lots of likely slaves on offer this afternoon. The field hands have already been sold with one or two trained carpenters thrown in who fetched a good price. I see that Jenny has just gone for $1200 ! I think she was purchased by a rep. from the Belle Meade plantation. After a good scrub down and a bit of house training she may well end up sleeping in the mansion at the foot of her master’s bed. The others will be bought for general household work like ironing, washing, cleaning and maybe wet nurse duties. If they don’t end up in the mansion then it’ll be field work or breeding if they’re still young enough.

Next time we’ll have a look at whipping on a plantation.
