In the 1790s, the cost of a male field hand varied significantly depending on factors such as region and skill level. Generally, the price for an enslaved male field hand ranged from around $300 to $1,000. In some areas, particularly in the Deep South where demand was high, prices could exceed $1,000. This investment reflected the economic importance of enslaved labor in agricultural production during that time.
