      What’s interesting is 5000$ today is about 129$ in 1860.

      Slaves were, on average, worth about 800 bucks in those times. I’m not sure how much a baby would be worth, but even if it comes to a quarter of what a full grown slave is worth… that means that they literally think we are worth less than slaves…
