There is no mention of any black families, which dulls the meaning of "Sell her South" if they don't have families.
In school, we were taught that slaves had a much harder workload in states such as Louisiana, Alabama, or Mississippi (or were led to believe they did) and common wisdom held that life was far more brutal for them on plantations there. I'm going to "sell you South" was apparently a common threat.
