What is a slave private treaty?
i'm guessing you mean a private treaty slave sale, I am also guessing you mean the sale of African slaves. The african slaves were sold by private treaty. This is quite rare but still happened. The most common slave sales were the scramble and auction. The sale was already arranged and a platation owner would state to the slave owner what he wanted and how much he would pay. He would often keep back the promised slaves and send the others to an auction or scramble. I hope this helps,

How did the scramble operate aboard slave ships?
The "scramble" did not take place on board the ships. During the height of the slave trade, demand for slaves was so great that, at a slave auction, purchasers of slaves would literally "scramble" to gather as many slaves as they could. Slaves newly transported from Africa would be herded into a pen, surrounded by eager buyers, often pushing and shoving in order to position themselves to grab hold of the finest specimens. A starting gun would be fired, and the buyers would surge into the pen to try and collect the best individuals. Often, fights broke out among the buyers. Following the scramble, buyers lined up with their "captured" slaves and paid for them.
