Yet another yankee engaging in confederate revisionism.
Slaves were not well kept.
Slaves became increasingly available to poorer and poorer owners for lower and lower prices throughout the entirety of the slave trades history, until, hilariously....the slave rush of the civil war - where owning a slave could get you out of confederate service. They were being bred as livestock.
Slaves did not stay where they were because they were being paid or because they were well kept or because they wanted to. They stayed because there was nowhere to go. The freed slave problem was such that the majority were seeking employment in the north, who didn't actually want them, and who very much would have liked to put them on boats, again, and ship them off to the forgetting place, a place that freed american slaves had overwhelmingly never known to begin with.
The 40 acres and a mule bit was a great idea, but was overturned by Lincolns successor Andrew Johnson, and what little land had been dispersed through this program was returned to the planters who had originally owned it - all of them confederate traitors.
Nothing, absolutely nothing in your post is a factual recounting of history. Who told you that, and why do you believe it?
