The largest slave auction in American history took place in 1859 but it's been largely forgotten by history. Professor Anne Bailey is working to change that. She's the author of The Weeping Time: Memory and the Largest Slave Auction in American History. She joins host Crystal Sarakas for a conversation about race, the erasure of slave auctions, and the healing that families are doing as they trace their history back to the auction block.

This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay!   1. Anne C.

This week at In The Past Lane, the history podcast, we explore the story of the largest slave auction in American history when some 436 enslaved people were sold in a two-day auction in 1859. To the people sold and the people they left behind, it would forever be known as “the weeping time.” This wrenching event involved the Butler family, a prominent southern family with ties to the Founding, as well as a famous British actress and abolitionist, Fanny Kemble. And of course, it involved hundreds of enslaved people who were sold to pay the debts of Pierce Butler. To help us make sense of this event and the subsequent memory of it, I speak with historian Anne C. Bailey, author of The Weeping Time: Memory and the Largest Slave Auction in American History published by Cambridge University Press. She draws upon a rich set of primary source materials, including a detailed firsthand account written by a New York Tribune reporter posing as a buyer. Bailey also tracks the story of the people sold after the Civil War as they tried to reconstruct their families. She also interviews a number of the descendants of the people sold. The result is a remarkable examination of this extraordinary event and the wider story of slavery, slave auctions, and historical memory.   More about:  Anne C. Bailey - website  Among the many things discussed in this episode:  What was “the weeping time,” the largest slave auction in US history? How did auctions shape the lives of enslaved people? What strategies did enslaved people deploy when faced with the auction block? How the auction block loomed over the enslaved as an ever-present threat. When the famed British actress and abolitionist Fanny Kemble married Pierce Butler, one of the nation’s largest slaveholders. How freed people who were split up during slavery tried to reconstitute their families during Reconstruction. Recommended reading:  Anne C.

Contemporary conversations and debates over Confederate monuments underline how memory-making and the legacies of U.S. slavery and the Civil War remains raw and highly contested in public discourse. In her new book, The Weeping Time: Memory and the Largest Slave Auction in American History (Cambridge University Press, 2017), Anne C. Bailey, an associate professor of history and Africana studies at Binghamton University SUNY, tells the story of the largest slave auction in U.S. history. In March 1859, the Butler Plantation estates in Georgia sold approximately 400 enslaved persons in a two-day period. Bailey uncovers the lives of enslaved people before and after their sale at the auction, offering a gripping narrative of the event and the people involved through the use of oral histories, journalistic accounts of the auction, and the papers of the Butlers. Bailey's book pushes readers to think about how the traditional historical narrative treats slavery, specifically by considering slavery's ongoing impact on modern-day descendants and their families. In this episode of New Books in African American Studies, Anne Bailey discusses The Weeping Time and the role of the auction block in shaping the memory and meaning of slavery from the antebellum era to the present day. Bailey emphasizes the power of family in crafting the meaning of freedom in the Reconstruction era and beyond. She also discusses the importance of the democratization of memory and its influence in her current work. The Weeping Time presents the auction block as a lens through which to analyze this traumatic chapter in U.S. history as well as examine the resilience of enslaved people and their descendants in recovering familial bonds and histories. Samantha Bryant is a Ph.D. candidate in history at University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her research, writing, and teaching focuses on twentieth-century U.S. history, U.S. cultural history, African American history and politics, and gender and sexuality studies. She is currently working on her dissertation, which explores the tangled and contested history of a 1960s rape case that took place in her hometown of Lynchburg, Virginia.
