A slave trade between American slave owners where these slave owners would take one or more of their slaves to a big city such as Richmond or Charleston, and place them in "slave pens." The slaves were often grouped together and moved by train or boat. The slaves were then taken to a central market in the Lower South like Natchez, New Orleans, or Mobile. Potential buyers carefully inspected the slaves, and each slave was sold to the highest bidder.
