Auction & Negro Sales: 1864
Whitehall Street, Atlanta, 1864. This photo of a black Union soldier posted at a slave auction house in Atlanta is one of hundreds taken by George N. Barnard during Gen. Sherman's occupation of the city in the fall of 1864. Many were destroyed in the conflagration that erupted upon Sherman's firing of Confederate munitions stores when he departed on Nov. 15.

Shame of slavery...
We should also remember that the nation put its very life on the line in order to end it.
Thank God we are past this!
As a nation we should feel shame that we sold our fellow human beings. Thank god for pictures and history, so the same mistakes are not repeated.
