Slavery

King Cotton- South is a major supplier of cotton for the world. The North would not dare declare war on King Cotton Staple Crop- a crop produced in mass amounts of quantity to sell for a profit

Cotton- required lots of labor for picking and separating seeds Cotton gin- increased demand for cotton Cotton exhausts the land of its nutrients, so necessary to constantly look for new land Manifest Destiny-new land for South

Other Staple crops Sugar (high profits) most demanding labor in South, slaves worked 18hr days Rice (high profit) required large # of slaves, very dangerous because grew in swamps, malaria and snake bites were deadly Slavery itself became a staple crop and produced high profits. Slave owners encouraged slaves to have children to increase their wealth

Middle Passage

Economics of Slavery In the late 1700’s – Many farmers were shifting from tobacco and cotton to grain crops because they required less labor – Cotton Gin – Eli Whitney This single event stopped any downward trend in the slave labor trade. Soon thousands of “would- be” cotton farmers poured into the South

Economics of Slavery Price for a black male, 20 years old $700 - $1650 the average is $1200 Price for a child slave $875 average Price for a black female, 20 years old $600 - $1550 the average $1100 Average rate of return 6-8% Work expectancy 30 years x 7% =210% Capital return in industry in the North was 6%

Slave Auction New Orleans and Richmond had the most slave auctions

Class System of Slaves Skilled craftsmen House servants Overseer Slave Driver Field hand

Slave Owners One out of 4 southern farmers owned slaves 75% of white southerners did not own any slaves yet they held the wealth and power in the community Of the 25% who owned slaves 1% owned 100 or more slaves 10% owned 20 to 99 slaves 39% owned 5 to 19 slaves 50% owned 1 to 4 slaves

Slave Population 1790: 700, : 3,200, : 4,000,000 Slave trade ends in 1808
