My Bondage and My Freedom

CHAPTER IV
36/37

Anthony was not considered a rich slaveholder, but was pretty well off in the world.

He owned about thirty _"head"_ of slaves, and three farms in Tuckahoe.

The most valuable part of his property was his slaves, of whom he could afford to sell one every year.

This crop, therefore, brought him seven or eight hundred dollars a year, besides his yearly salary, and other revenue from his farms.
The idea of rank and station was rigidly maintained on Col.

Lloyd's plantation.
