| |||
Editor's note: The constant demand for enslaved persons, and competition among slave dealers, made slave trading firms likely outlets for kidnappers who abducted free African Americans as well as enslaved Blacks, and sold them to the firms as their own property. In the advertisement above, Franklin and Armfield are attempting to locate the man who sold a young male slave to them for $275 whom they later determined had been kidnapped from Fauquier County farmer William Greer. The Year of Jubilee Vol. 1: Men of God and Vol. 2: Men of Muscle by George F. Nagle Both volumes of the Afrolumens book are now available to read directly from this site.
