Vintage Photo Auction & Slave Sales in Atlanta - Civil War Slavery Black African American Soldier

This is one of those images that can cause mixed feelings. The sign above the soldier says, "Auction & Negro Sales." Then you realize the soldier posted outside and reading is a black soldier. Here's a description taken from Shorpy: "Whitehall Street, Atlanta, 1864. This photo of a black Union soldier posted at a slave auction house in Atlanta is one of hundreds taken by George N. Barnard during Gen. Sherman's occupation of the city in the fall of 1864. Many were destroyed in the conflagration that erupted upon Sherman's firing of Confederate munitions stores when he departed on Nov. 15."
