Most people know about the auctions.
But few people have heard about one of the darkest chapters in the history of American slavery.
After the international slave trade was banned, plantation owners faced a problem:
They still wanted more labor.
Their solution was horrifying.
Across parts of the American South, entire systems were created to increase the enslaved population from within. Human beings were treated not as people, but as assets whose lives, families, and futures could be controlled for profit.
