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



Item # 695243

August 10, 1847

THE CHARLESTON COURIER, South Carolina, Aug. 10, 1847

* Rare antebellum publication

 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 three slave-related ads, two are reward ads for runaways, and the other is headed: "For Sale--Land, Negroes and Stock of All Kinds..." with further particulars.
Four pages, archival strengthening across the central fold on pages 2 & 3, nice condition.
