Charleston

The day started at 7 am and and by 10:30 we saw the beautiful city on the coast. This was the place most of the slaves came in with boats and was sold to people. 































After a short visit we drove to Middelton Place, not very far from the city. This place had 800 slaves working at the same time and it was a very big farm that produced rice and cotton. After this visit we returned to Charleston. Three hours of shopping and relaxing in a beautiful city. Then we returned to Aiken around 22:00.  Here you can see the names of the slaves and the price that Middelton payed for them. At the last photo you can see a part of the beautiful place.
