Yes, during the 1900s, enslaved individuals were considered valuable assets, and their prices could be quite high, reflecting their economic worth for labor in agriculture, particularly in the Southern United States. The cost of a slave varied based on factors such as age, health, and skills, with prices often reaching several hundred to over a thousand dollars. However, it's important to note that the institution of slavery was officially abolished in the U.S. with the 13th Amendment in 1865, so by the early 1900s, slavery was no longer legal.
