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



Item # 695241

August 03, 1847

THE CHARLESTON COURIER, South Carolina, Aug. 3, 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 2 has reports from the Mexican War headed: "From The Brazos".
Page 3 has three slave-related ads, each having various particulars. One is a: "Ten Dollars award" for a runaway, and the other is headed: "For Sale--Land, Negroes and Stock of All Kinds..." The ads are shown in the photos.
Four pages, archival strengthening across the central fold on pages 2 & 3, nice condition.
