This photograph was taken in 1865 in Richmond, shortly after that city fell to Union forces. The picture shows a Richmond business engaged in the Slave Trade. The sign on the building reads, "Price, Birch, and Co. Dealers in Slaves." The building appears to be occupied by Union troops. It is hard to imagine that such business establishments existed in this country.Thursday, May 22, 2008

ReplyDeleteYou said it padre , I'll bet that store is a skeleton in someone's family closet now. I don't think anyone would want to admit that their family store sold humans.
