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.

What is the place where slaves were sold to the highest bidder?

A slave market or a slave auction.


How long was a slave auction?

It depends on what sort of Slave Auction it was, the "grab and go" and the highest bidder auction, usually after the ships carrying slaves would dock the slaves were cleaned and inspected. The highest bidder auction was where the slave was put on a platform, inspected of and bid for the highest price (So whenever the last slave was sold is how long it was) the other "grab and go" was quick, more of a purchasing of a raffle ticket and then the buyers were able to run into a pen and fetch the slave of their choice.


How do a slave auction work?

Basically like a normal auction. A slave is sold at a reasonable beginning price then once people start bidding the price goes up until someone claims the slave and then he or she takes him or her home and either torments, rapes, mutilates, abuse or just work them until they can't work no more.


How does the slave auction work?

In a slave auction, enslaved people are put up for bidding by auctioneers, and the highest bidder wins the right to purchase the enslaved person. Enslaved individuals are treated as property to be bought and sold to the highest bidder, perpetuating the dehumanization and exploitation of people. These auctions were a brutal and inhumane practice that occurred during the transatlantic slave trade and other historical periods of slavery.


What is a slave private treaty?

i'm guessing you mean a private treaty slave sale, I am also guessing you mean the sale of African slaves. The african slaves were sold by private treaty. This is quite rare but still happened. The most common slave sales were the scramble and auction. The sale was already arranged and a platation owner would state to the slave owner what he wanted and how much he would pay. He would often keep back the promised slaves and send the others to an auction or scramble. I hope this helps,
