 * Notes on your Standard || In 1790, about 698,000 people were enslaved in the U.S. About 4,000,000 were enslaved by 1860. During this time, the price of a slave increased ten to twenty times. There were more slaves in Alabama and Mississippi because those places depended on cotton, As opposed to states like Kentucky, which depended less on cotton and therefore less on slaves. The slave were completely controlled by a cruel code called the slave code. Slaves under this code were treated as valuable property rather than human beings. The only reason slave owners did not beat slaves to death was because slave owners didn't want to waste money on another slave.

 The affect that slavery had on blacks was devastating. Millions of slaves died on the boat on the way to America, and even if they made it, they were in for some tough times. They would be beaten and tortured because of their color, and some blacks slowly started to hate themselves because everyone told them the were ugly because of the color of their skin.  People who were taken as slaves often lost all ties to their old life; songs, rituals, beliefs, and even family were gone. ||
