      It is fair to say that most of the wealth of the western world can be attributed to slavery. America is still making money off of slavery today, some of these well known American companies today got their start during slavery.

    Adjusted for inflation that's over $60000 for one slave. There's no way they cost anything close to that much. Maybe $6000 for a good slave, maybe $600 or less for most.

    >discounting that slaves reproduce themselves

    But yeah, in Cotton Kingdom Frederick Olmsted interviews slave owners and one very openly told him that slavery barely makes a profit, at most he broke even. But there was a culture in the South of whites never doing "slave work" even if it meant abject poverty. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't find enough paid laborers.
    The book is a fascinating read.

        also you could rent out your slaves. A part of the slaves on your plantation could be used as rental slaves almost exclusively.
        Also cotton wasn't the only product the slave economy produced, the produced tobacco, rice, wheat, corn etc. The plantations could sustain themselves on food.

            if read my initial post and not just screeched like a moron, you would've read that I even mentioned a contemporary book that said slavery was barely profitable.
            But your math was incredibly simplistic and had several wrong assumptions: like the price of a slave, that you need to buy slaves constantly, that they only produced cotton and that cotton was the only means of making money with slaves: You could rent them out, you could produce foodstuffs with them, you could produce tobacco with them, they could help build infrastructure on your plantations, they reduce transport cost etc etc

            Yes you did. You claimed one price for slaves (not true), one mode of making money with them (also not true), a production quota which is bullshit and one static price for bread and cotton (also obviously not true)
            because you think you can calculate the entire economic structure of a very specific class in a very specific country in the 1850s with like 4 static numbers. It's a VERY complex question that needs a book-length breakdown of all the factors.

            It's not. It's so obviously unprofitable and you're too dumb to add the food cost vs the cotton produced.

            YES FOOD COST IS A COMPLEX QUESTION, you fricking imbecile:
            What do they eat? What does the plantation produce for itself? How much do they eat? What does storage cost? What does food preparation cost?
            Answer every one of those questions exactly, or you can't calculate the actual food cost.
            The example you mentioned is bread, bread is a food stuff that is already prepared: Buying just the ingredients for bread is already cheaper and letting the slaves bake the bread for no labor cost.

            The guy that thinks you can answer complex economic processes with "lol just add and subtract, moron" calls other people stupid.

            also, the confederacy had more israelites in the government than the Union had. Google Judah P. Benjamin. No matter how much you call people jidf.

Leverich & Co., his bank headquartered in New York.[10] His plantations yielded returns of US$150,000 annually.[10]
    > In the 1850s, Duncan owned more than 1,000 slaves, making him the largest resident slave holder in Mississippi
    Bread cost 30 cents a day. That's $100 per year.
    These are wholesale prices, the retail price is at least double.
    1,000 slaves costing $200 a year is $200,000. The revenue was $150,000.

      Christ, so slavery was unprofitable, why did they keep slaves. I can somewhat understand slavery if it benefits the owners but now it seems like the owners just enjoyed keeping people captive, whip them, rape them and humiliate them. No different from sadistic psychopaths who kidnap people into their sex dungeons. The massive evilness of Americans never cease to amaze me.

        you know all those labor studies, like the one about better lighting in factories improving worker productivity? that entire field didn't come about until the early 20th century
        a lot of people just didn't really realize that slavery was ultimately less profitable than wage workers. and hell, on the surface, it seems to make sense that slavery should be cheaper. but it isn't in most cases, although exceptions for time, place, specifics (like how cheap slaves were acquired or how well they work or the crops they produce), did of course exist.
        inertia, encouraged by ignorance and those few exceptions, are what made slavery so common.
        also remember that slavery in the americas often arose as an imperfect replacement of a system that no longer worked. in the spanish colonies, as supplies of indians dwindled due to the spread of old world diseases, farms and mines which had depended upon that supply of cheap labor needed to be replenished.
        in the english colonies, as the reality that indentured servitude was much worse and harsher in america than back home become known, all those indentured servants needed to be replaced.
        and as european trade with west africa grew, warlords realized the benefits of slavery, and a huge slave raid system lead to excesses of cheap slaves to be purchased on the west african coast.
