The Slave Auction by Frances Ellen
Hi
The following stanza is from the peom "The Slave Auction" by Frances Ellen
"And men, whose sole crime was their hue,
The impress of their Maker's hand,
And frail and shrinking children too,
Were gathered in that mournful band."
Here, Does "And men, whose sole crime was their hue" refer to the bidders, sellers or is it the male slaves?
