These auctions were advertised in posters or newspapers. Another way slaves were sold in the West Indies was in scrambles. This was when buyers ran at the slaves to claim groups or individuals they wanted. Slaves were washed, shaved and oiled to make them look younger and healthier.

This is when the bidders would attend the auction and use cash or produce to pay for the slaves.

Another way in which slaves were sold once they reached the West Indies was by holding a scramble. A scramble is when they rush to a ‘lot’ of slaves to claim them and buy them.]]> 2018-01-11 11:04:16 UTC https://padlet.com/colleen_hohs/z9c8s201zjwt/wish/220521566 https://padlet.com/colleen_hohs/z9c8s201zjwt/wish/220521704 Slaves were washed and shaved and separated into ‘lots’. These ‘lots’ were a mix of different ages, genders and abilities. They were presented to the public through an auction and the highest bidder would own the slave. Next, there was a ‘scramble’ where individual slaves could be picked out for purchase to work on plantations. The slaves which were not claimed were left to beg and starve at the ports and no further care was taken of them]]> 2018-01-11 11:04:52 UTC https://padlet.com/colleen_hohs/z9c8s201zjwt/wish/220521704 080469551 https://padlet.com/colleen_hohs/z9c8s201zjwt/wish/220522193 Slaves were sold once they reached the West Indies by being rubbed with palm oil and shaved close to make them look young and healthy.

Slaves were kept in a cage before auction to prevent them from escaping. Posters were put out days before to show the date of when the slaves were going to be auctioned also the gender and the amount of slaves.The bidders could come up to touch and prod the slaves to see the condition of them to make sure they weren't ill or injured. The slaves would go to the highest bidder. If the slaves weren't sold there was a scramble where they could be sold individually.]]> 2018-01-11 11:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/colleen_hohs/z9c8s201zjwt/wish/220523017 https://padlet.com/colleen_hohs/z9c8s201zjwt/wish/220524310 2018-01-11 11:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/colleen_hohs/z9c8s201zjwt/wish/220524310
