The tree where Solomon sees several men being lynched from was actually used for lynching! This tree is located on the outskirts of New Orleans, was once used as gallows on which slaves were hanged, and is surrounded by the graves of murdered slaves. Before the civil war, the city of New Orleans was the largest slave market in the United States, ultimately serving as the site for the purchase and sale of more than 135,000 people.This tree bears evidence to the vast history of violence associated with African-American slavery in the Antebellum South.
