Plot

In this quantitative study, the authors calculate that economies of scale made chattel slavery immensely profitable and productive for Southern plantation owners, and that enslaved laborers had a higher standard of living than their counterparts on Northern farms. Upon its publication, the work was often criticized for minimizing the brutality and moral depravity of enslavement in America.
