Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Panel from 1863 cartoon "The House That Jeff Built", satirizing Jefferson Davis and the slave trade.

Panel 7 showing slave merchants around a young woman slave; a child slave is in the background.

Text:

"These buy the slaves, both male and female, and sell their own souls to a boss with a tail, who owns the small soul of that thing call’d a man, whose trade is to sell all the chattels he can, from yearlings to adults of life’s longest span, in and out of the house that Jeff built."
