Document</p><p>Observe:  It is 29 paragraphs  It is really long  There are quotes in some of the paragraphs  The text is arranged into paragraphs  It says sale of slaves at the top  It says it was written in Savannah, Georgia  Written by Price M. Butler  It is a sequel to Mrs. Kemble’s journey  There are no pictures and there is nothing very unusual  It talks about where the negros came from  Talks about how the slaves were treated  Talks about the auctions and sales for slaves</p><p>Reflect:  The purpose of the text is to show how slaves lived back then  Price M. Butler wrote it  The audience is anyone who wants to learn about how slaves lived back in the 1800’s  Written in 1859  Slavery was still going on when this was made  A pencil and paper were used to make this  You can learn how slaves lived from this and how they were treated  You can learn about how they were sold  Where they came from  This gives a very accurate description of how they were sold and what the auctions were like at the time </p><p>Question:  Was the document important at the time?  Was Price M. Butler a supporter of slaves or was he African American?  Did the writer go to this slave auction?  Was the writer a slave himself?  Were slave auction common in Georgia?  Why was this written?  Were the slaves caught or were they being resold?  If so how did they get caught?  Did the slave family ever get freed?</p>
