Description: These prices for cotton and field slaves appear in New Orleans records. The left axis shows the price of cotton; the right, the price of a slave. The rising trend of slave prices (especially from 1850 to 1860), and a growing slave population, show the continuing profitability and viability of slavery up to 1860.
