Carl, interesting post. This intrigued me: Yet the antebellum South entered into the Civil War (1861-65) a region confident of swift victory. Even many Union military leaders conceded the martial skills and efficiency of the Confederate Army, three-fourths of it infantry. You never can tell just how the fortune of war might turn, but the South was toast, long term, wasn't it? What was the price of a healthy slave? Compared to ten years labourer's wages? What is the economic contribution of a slave compared to that of a free labourer? Are these relevant questions?
