Slaves were considered the most valuable primarily due to their ability to provide labor for labor-intensive industries like agriculture, particularly in the production of cash crops such as cotton, sugar, and tobacco. Their forced labor allowed plantation owners to maximize profits without the costs associated with free labor, such as wages and benefits. Additionally, the social and economic systems of the time reinforced the notion that enslaved individuals were property, further entrenching their perceived value in society and the economy. This dehumanization enabled the continuation of slavery as a profitable institution for many.

slaves were valuable property
Slaves were rarely killed by their owners because they were so expensive and valuable.
The most valuable slaves were typically those with specialized skills or training, such as artisans, blacksmiths, and skilled laborers, as they could command higher prices and contribute significantly to their owners' wealth. Enslaved people who were able to perform tasks such as plantation management, housework, or skilled trades were also highly sought after. Additionally, younger slaves, especially those who were strong and healthy, were often considered more valuable due to their potential for longer periods of labor.
