THE CIVIL WAR

One cold January night in the 1850s people crowded into Boston’s Faneuil Hall to hear a talk by the famous orator Wendell Phillips.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, the well- known writer, was chairman.

And now may I present Mr. Wendell Phillips.

1

My friends, may I describe to you a recent happening? In Kentucky, the owner of a large plantation has died. His 500 slaves are to be sold. Imagine, if you will, a slave auction block.

2

The auctioneer with his black whip shows the unhappy slaves as if they were animals.

An interested buyer might examine his back for lash marks. Signs of too many beatings would show that the slave was a troublemaker.

He shows the condition of their teeth, and tells their age and weight.

Each slave goes to the highest bidder. Families are broken up, regardless of their pleas.
