Cover: Front of "Slave Pen," Alexandria, Va. Photograph by Andrew J. Russell, ca. 1861-1865. Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division. LC-DIG-ppmsca-11746.

The Library of Congress online catalog entry for this item at https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2006683273/ describes a "Photograph showing a Union army guard and other men in front of a building designated Price, Birch & Co., dealers in slaves...Inscribed on item: Building contained numerous cells and a whipping post."

Although the Framers of the U.S. Constitution delicately avoided using terms such as "slavery" and "slaves," the slave trading industry capitalized on advertising far less subtle, as evidenced by this storefront sign. Michael Henry analyzes how the Framers' personal and political dealings with slavery were--or were not--presented in American history textbooks in "Sacred and Profane American History: Does It Exist in Textbooks?" which begins on page 405 of this issue.
