1767-Feb.-21: A group of 26 enslaved individuals belonging to the Pierre Bouyer succession was put up for public sale at the Royal Seat of the Cap. The terms of the sale required successful bidders to pay the full price in cash immediately following the transaction. This liquidation followed the sale of the Bouyer plantation and served to redistribute the estate’s human property among new owners. Such auctions were frequent occurrences in the colonial capital, facilitating the constant turnover of labor within the plantation economy.
