By 1860, there were about four million enslaved workers in the South. The plantation owners of the South, who were dependent on enslaved laborers, had much of their personal wealth tied up in enslaved persons. For example, a plantation owner might have had fifty enslaved persons. Their value in 1860, according to the records of the time, would have been about $80,000, a value of about $2.2 million today. Historians estimate that up to 50% of the wealth of the South was tied up in the institution of slavery, which is an important reason why so many Southern leaders were unwilling to discuss any type of emancipation.
