Vintage 'SALE OF VALUABLE NEGROES' poster 1853 in Montgomery USA. African ethicity groups brought into the United States as slaves to be bought and sold at local auctions. Though the U.S. Congress outlawed the African slave trade in 1808, the domestic trade flourished, and the enslaved population in the United States nearly tripled over the next 50 years. By 1860 it had reached nearly 4 million, with more than half living in the cotton-producing states of the South.
