Best Answer

At a slave auction...

White men would take black slaves and put them on a platform.

Then, they would start the auction. This was just like a regular auction.

The person who offered the most for the slave would get the slave.

At these auctions, the slaves were often treated very poorly.

At slave auctions, enslaved individuals were bought and sold to the highest bidder. Enslaved people were treated as property to be bought and owned by others, leading to the separation of families and the perpetuation of a brutal system of exploitation and dehumanization. These auctions were a key part of the transatlantic slave trade and played a significant role in perpetuating the institution of slavery.
