Meet the Butlers, the family that induced the second largest sale of enslaved in US history. Lots of links to along with this one and citations. If I miss a link and it was something you were interested in learning more about, please email me and I'll get the link for you.
Also going to ask for forgiveness in advance, you can tell I'm out of practice, there a few parts where you will hear me chuckle. This is purely from discomfort.
