A slave auction scene shows Kunta chained and whipped as bystanders push him forward. He endures threats and exposure while a grim crowd places bids, then is loaded into a wheeled box pulled by an animal. The journey continues past mournful captives and toubob guards toward an uncertain fate.
In Plains Georgia a 1056 acre Cochran estate was split into 49 parcels with bids dropping from 14 000 per acre to 973 per acre. Cochran accepted a four acre tract at 16400 and rejected the rest then sought a 1052 acre package which he later denied accepting. A high 1 25 million bid from Forsyth was rejected and one Illinois bidder later called the deal a mistake. Billy Carter denied involvement and nearby relatives Mit Spann expected new weights but no clear title emerged.
