In 1860, the cost to upkeep a slave varied widely depending on factors such as location, the type of labor performed, and the individual needs of the slave. On average, it was estimated to cost plantation owners between $150 to $200 per year, which included expenses for food, clothing, shelter, and medical care. This cost played a significant role in the economic calculations surrounding the institution of slavery in the United States.
