Robin knew that he should stay put but he couldn't resist walking through several rows where slaves were put on display on the auction block.
The first sight of slaves that greeted him was just a mere glimpse into the slave trade.

These slaves just had manacles around their feet to keep them from running but they had already been broken so sufficiently that security in this part was not strictly enforced.
