Sale of Negroes: Mills, Mules, Hogs & Mining Tools
$70.00
Chilling historical advertisement announcing the "SALE OF NEGROES, Mills, Mules, Hogs, FARMING & MINING TOOLS, WAGONS AND CARTS" to be sold in Columbia County on Tuesday, August 14th. This horrifying poster lists enslaved people alongside livestock, farm equipment, and mining tools as property of the Columbia Mining Company to be liquidated. The advertisement details the sale of mills, mules, wagons, and then on "THURSDAY, August 16th" lists enslaved people by name and occupation: "LITTLE JOE and SIMON, Blacksmiths; WILSON, a Miller; ANTHONY, LITTLE PETER, GEORGE, RANDAL, WILLIAM, HENRY, JOHN, CHARLES, LEWIS, FRANK, JACOB, ISAAC, MATT, and MORRIS, Miners and Blasters; ALFRED and FRANK, Engineers; PETER RUTZ, a Wagoner; LONG JOE, MAJOR, a Carpenter." The casual listing of human beings by name and skill alongside farm animals and tools reveals slavery's complete dehumanization. These skilled workers—blacksmiths, miners, engineers, carpenters—were treated as equipment to be sold. A devastating document of slavery's commodification, available in three sizes with your choice of black or silver aluminum frame.
