Edward E. Baptist Quotes

The Next Day, As They Walked, A Stranger Rode Up, Matching The Georgia-man's Pace. "Niggers For Sale?" He Wanted To Buy Two Women. The Two Men Negotiated, Argued, And Insulted Each Other A Little. The New Man Stared At The Women And Told Them What He Thought He'd Do With Them. The Coffle Kept Moving. The White Men Rode Along, Bargaining. Maybe The Deal Could Be Sweetened, Allowed The Georgia-man, If The South Carolinian Paid To Have The Chains Knocked Off The Men. One Thousand Dollars For The Two, Plus Blacksmith Fees. They Stopped At A Forge, And They Kept Arguing. The New Man Stated For Everyone's Benefit That He Had Worked African Men To Death In Iron Collars. The Blacksmith Came Out, And He Asked What "the Two Gentlemen Were Making Such A Frolick About," Ball Later Said. Frolicking: Down There, Ball Realized, The Carolinians' Play, The Time When They Were Most Fully Themselves, Was Evidently When They Were Arguing, Negotiating, Dealing, And Intimidating The Enslaved.
