How do a slave auction work?

Basically like a normal auction. A slave is sold at a reasonable beginning price then once people start bidding the price goes up until someone claims the slave and then he or she takes him or her home and either torments, rapes, mutilates, abuse or just work them until they can't work no more.

A slave market or a slave auction.


How did the slave auction work?

During a slave auction, enslaved individuals were brought to a public space where they were inspected by potential buyers. Auctioneers would then start the bidding, and the highest bidder would win ownership of the enslaved person. The enslaved person had no say in the matter and would be forced to go with the winning bidder.


What happend at the slave auction?

At a slave auction... White men would take black slaves and put them on a platform. Then, they would start the auction. This was just like a regular auction. The person who offered the most for the slave would get the slave. At these auctions, the slaves were often treated very poorly.


How long was a slave auction?

It depends on what sort of Slave Auction it was, the "grab and go" and the highest bidder auction, usually after the ships carrying slaves would dock the slaves were cleaned and inspected. The highest bidder auction was where the slave was put on a platform, inspected of and bid for the highest price (So whenever the last slave was sold is how long it was) the other "grab and go" was quick, more of a purchasing of a raffle ticket and then the buyers were able to run into a pen and fetch the slave of their choice.
