Well, I know it doesn't mean much to some people but I took US and Latin American history in college due to my interest in it and my need to satisfy my humanity requirements.

Its been a while but I still remember the facts well. If you don't believe me I am sure you will find validation with a little internet search.

It would also be in line with the cost since the price would be about the same as it would cost to pay someone for those several years though you would be hard pressed to find someone to voluntarily do the kind of work slaves did.

We are talking about hard labor under harsh conditions that included malaria and parasitic disease.

While I am sure there were many house servants that could reach a ripe old age the supermajority of slaves were just disposable bodies doing the work that people did not want to do voluntarily.
