Slavery, part 2

One postscript on the subject of slavery: while the mansion museums tell the story from the point of view of the plantation households, the Old Slave Mart Museum, shown here, comes at it from a different angle:


This building was where slaves actually were bought and sold in the 1850s, and inside (no photography was allowed, unfortunately) you will see artifacts of the harsher side of slavery, including shackles and whips, and exhibits about each type of participant in the business. Well worth a visit.
