Four slave-related ads from this leading slave import city...



Item # 695238

July 30, 1847

THE CHARLESTON COURIER, South Carolina, July 30, 1847  In 14 years this city would be the hotbed for secession from the Union, not surprising given it was the largest American point of disembarkation for the trans-Atlantic slave trade.
Page 3 has four slave-related ads, one headed: "Negroes Wanted.." each having various particulars. The ads are shown in the photos.
Four pages, archival strengthening across the central fold on pages 2 & 3,  an old tape mend near the right margin of page 1, nice condition.

Item from Catalog 342 (released for May, 2024)
