Recently got a scan of an actual newspaper from Monday, September 18th, 1826 from the local area of some of the ads. I'm reading through some of the slave-related ads, and it's just odd seeing people referring to other human beings as they would an animal. Heck, due to the descriptions they use, I mistook an ad for a horse as one for a slave. I just thought it needs saying that, while we may not be proud of it and should not be proud of it, it's there, and we may as well bear it in mind to prevent from falling down a similar path.
