The #GreatSlaveAuction in Savannah, Georgia is part of the shameful legacy of #PierceMeaseButler , who inherited half his father’s plantation on Butler and St. Simons Island but lost it all and more by gambling and died from dysentery in Mexico. His gambling debts were paid off by the largest sale of enslaved African men, women and children in American history. 👉 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierce_Butler_(American_politician)#Pierce_Mease_Butler
