Wife At Slave Auction
In the century before the end of the Civil War in 1865, 102 such narratives had been published, many by abolitionist societies, and another 53 were published in the postbellum years to 1900.1 Central to many of these narratives are the authors' memories of slave sales and auctions, of being sold and separated from their families.

An occasional reason for sale was that the wife was simply fed up with the husband, as in the case of a wife sold in Wenlock Market, Shropshire in 1830. When her husband showed signs of cold feet at the last minute she reportedly flipped her apron in his face and said 'Let be yer rogue.
