""What Became Of The Slaves On A Georgia Plantation"" is a historical account of the Great Auction Sale of Slaves that took place in Savannah, Georgia on March 2nd and 3rd, 1859. The book is written by Q.K. Philander Doesticks, a pseudonym for American humorist and journalist Mortimer Thomson. The book provides a detailed description of the auction and the slaves who were sold, including their names, ages, and physical descriptions. Doesticks also provides insight into the lives of the slaves before the auction, detailing their living conditions and the labor they were forced to perform on the plantation. In addition to the auction itself, the book also explores the broader context of slavery in the United States, including the political and economic factors that led to its expansion and the moral arguments against it. Originally published in 1863, ""What Became Of The Slaves On A Georgia Plantation"" is a valuable historical record of the slave trade in the United States and a powerful indictment of the institution of slavery.A Sequel To Mrs. Kemble�������s Journal.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
