Selling A Freeman To Pay His Fine
Copy of an illustration showing a free black man being sold to pay his fine, in Monticello, Florida, 1867. The sketch illustrates events which happened under the Black Codes, a series of laws passed by Southern states which imposed severe punishment upon blacks who broke labor contracts, including being sold for up to one year's labor. Many Northerners considered it another form of slavery. (Photo by Interim Archives/Getty Images)
