Slavery was reaching an all time high, so the people kept dying due to bad treatment, malnutrition, and fighting the slave drivers. The people also were very poor and health care was not very good at that time. Only the wealthy could affords Medical Care. Even the wealthy had issues with health because of the limited technology. So that's why they had a high Death Rate in the 1800s. After that people started stepping in to help and slavery got more and more secluded, and then people started to help with the health care.

Hope this helped,
