Ask us anythingmany slaves were sold once they reached the west indies. what was typical of the sale process?

Once enslaved individuals reached the West Indies, they were typically sold at public auctions or through private sales. The sale process often involved displaying the enslaved people to potential buyers, highlighting their physical attributes and perceived skills. Buyers would bid on the enslaved individuals, with prices varying based on age, health, and skills. The transaction was dehumanizing, treating enslaved people as property rather than individuals, and often involved brutal conditions during transport and sale.
