Description
An account of the resource
<a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/475">Slave trading</a> establishments in Washington, DC are superimposed on this 1855 Atlas of Washington, DC to show the locations of a few of the many slave trading establishments in the city. Businesses flourished on the Mall's borders including slave traders who operated from hotels, auction houses, and taverns until the trade was abolished in the District of Columbia in 1850. South of the Mall, <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/45">the Yellow House</a> and <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/46">Robey's</a> were notoriously cruel slave pens. North of the Mall, sales at auction houses flourished, promoted in local newspaper advertisements.
