other groups because they are younger and they look up to the adults. Its interesting that they would add unborn, nursing, and infants on the chart. These categories born into slavery, they start them off young to prepare them to be slave.

Descriptive Discussion Based on the information above, more than half of the respondents were males. Females came in close with more than a quarter of the graph; the males outnumbered the females, but a piece of the chart goes to missing information. Interpretive Discussion

Louisiana Slave 6
Its interesting that the males outnumbered the females in the Louisiana slave database. Males were preferred than females for manual and field work. I would assume that most males worked in the plantation field and most females worked in the masters house.
