Source type: Article (The Slave Trade in St. Louis)

This article went into depth about Benard Lynch and his inconsiderate personality towards African Americans. Bernard Lynch would buy and sell HUMANS and his way of selling them was would auction them off which occurred once a week outside of the St. Louis courthouse.  I like how the author went more into depth so he could make the audience thats reading this article try and picture what happened so they could get a better understanding. Something else in the article that I liked was that they added pictures which for me I love seeing pictures when I read because it helps me understand things more.

This article can honestly be for whoever wants to learn more about Bernard Lynch himself or even about the slave trade. I enjoyed reading this article was new to me because I’d never heard about the slave trade. It addressed a lot of the history of slavery in St. Louis I feel as if people from that area should know of it and also spend more time researching it.
