520 _a"What Became of the Slaves on a Georgia Plantation?" by Q. K. Philander Doesticks is a historical account written during the early 1860s. The book delves into the experiences of enslaved individuals during a significant auction of slaves in Savannah, Georgia, specifically detailing the emotional and physical turmoil faced by those being sold. It offers a poignant perspective on the inhumane practices of slavery and the deep bonds of family and community that were ruthlessly severed during such sales. The narrative unfolds around a major slave auction that occurred in March 1859, spotlighting the human cost of such transactions. The book vividly depicts the conditions in which slaves were kept prior to the auction, their hopeful attempts to remain together as families, and the harsh realities as they were inspected and sold to the highest bidder. Through poignant scenes and dialogues, Doesticks captures the anguish of families torn apart, the silent suffering of individuals waiting for their fate, and the often crude behavior of the buyers. Each story adds to the collective heartbreak of being commoditized, underscoring the inherent humanity and dignity of the enslaved people despite their dire circumstances.
