A African American bering sold

this online is what i found online. like it says its from a freed slavce......the words are kinda weird but try to picture this in your mind.

Sylvia Cannon, a freed slave, described slave auctions this way:
I see 'em sell plenty colored peoples away in them days, 'cause that the way white folks
made heap of their money. Course, they ain't never tell us how much they sell 'em for.
Just stand 'em up on a block about three feet high and a speculator bid 'em off just like
they was horses. Them what was bid off didn't never say nothing neither. Don't know
who bought my brothers, George and Earl. I see 'em sell some slaves twice before I was
sold, and I see the slaves when they be traveling like hogs to Darlington. Some of them
be women folks looking like they going to get down, they so heavy.
The slave auctioneers spoke of their business as though they were, in fact, buying and
selling hogs.
