Slavery was profitable. Think about your own home, even if living with your parents. How much would you or your parents need to spend if you hired someone to:
- clean your house
- scrub walls and floors
- wash heavy drapes
- do laundry
- tend to all the underage children
- assist adults with dressing and undressing
- nurse babies (a slave or other woman called a "wet nurse")
- run errands
- tend to flower beds/gardens
- tend to a small family garden
- tend to acres and acres of crops
- tend to the family dogs
- tend to the family's livestock and horses
- repair the family's wagon
- repair and clean harnesses, etc.
- repair fences
- chop wood
- cut down trees
- clear fields for new farmland
- repair roof from leaks
- keep the barns clean and mucked
- spread manure as fertilizer
- clean out the outhouse and burn human waste
- ... you should be able to calculate just how expensive these 'chores' would be, even if paid a 'minimum wage' of a few cents in the 1700s and 1800s.
