"the [groups of slaves are] marched close to a fire previously
kindled on the beach. Here marking-irons (aka branding-irons) are
heated, and when an iron is sufficiently hot, it is quickly dipped
in palm-oil, in order to prevent its sticking to the flesh. It is
then applied to the ribs or hip, and sometimes even to the breast.
Each slave- dealer uses his own mark, so that when the [slaves]
arrive at their destination, it is [easy to tell] to whom those who
died belonged" (Travels in Western Africa in 1845 & 1846
[London, 1847; reprinted London, 1968], vol. I, p. 143).

One of the slave's greatest fears was to be sold off and
separated from loved ones. According to Mortimer Thomson, a
newspaper correspondent who covered the Butler sale, "The
expression on the faces of all who stepped on the block was always
the same, and told of more anguish than it is in the power of words
to express."

shows a doorway with barred gate opening to courtyard, pens are
visible to right. Two of the six pen doors are open. The domestic
slave trade transported 100s of thousands of slaves from the upper
south to the Cotton Kingdom culminating in the internal sale &
transportation of 250,000 enslaved people in 1860, from the upper
south to the deep south where slave labor was in high demand.
