The price of slaves skyrocketed and many slaves were “sold downriver” to [BLANK-1] as a result. Those slaves’ lives grew appreciably worse – not only from the prospect of leaving their families and communities when they were traded, but also because the work in the cotton fields was generally more strenuous and more violence was utilized on cotton plantations in order to extract labor.
