Answer 15

What exactly.....is the question?

Answer 16

About how much were slave owners willing to pay as rewards for returned slaves?

Answer 17

"About how much were slave owners willing to pay as rewards for returned slaves?"

Answer 18

Ah. Well it seems to depend on the size/age/gender of the slave.

Answer 19

Strong slaves that were capable of massive workloads would be worth more than small ones with disease or other atrophies.

Answer 20

Oh where does it say that? i cant find it

Answer 21

It doesn't say it, but it makes sense, though, doesn't it? Why would you want to pay a large amount of money to get back a useless slave?

Answer 22

I agree

Answer 23

Well the instructions say to get the info from the those pics and Answer questions in complete sentences providing details/examples/evidence with an explanation of your thinking

Answer 24

You think i could add what you said?

Answer 25

Well, one person offered a $50 reward for a 35 year old man, while another person offered a $100 reward for a 22 year old man, only inches shorter that the other, but 13 years younger, and as it put it: "well set" or "big build"

Answer 26

ohh

Answer 27

makes sense now

Answer 28

About how much do you think that is worth in today’s dollars? (guess)

Answer 29

I said Maybe in the thousands or millions o.o

Answer 30

Well, the economy has gone up since then, so $100 then would be around......$2,800 in todays money, give or take a little.

Answer 31

Anymore explanation you could add maybe?

Answer 32

Well if I had a slave, and I was making that much money off of them, I would also be a greedy prick, so I wouldn't offer any more than $400

Answer 33

ok good enough lol

Answer 34

Did you notice Thomas Jefferson wrote the first Runaway Slave Ad included above. How do you think a man who wrote that “All men are created equal” could also be a slaveowner? What beliefs does he (as well as most of society) have that enables this type of thinking and behaviors? (This answer comes from the chapter reading & background knowledge)

Answer 35

Well most slave owners thought that whites were in some way better or more important than blacks.

Answer 36

I think that Thomas Jefferson can say and do two different things. Just because he owned slaves, does NOT mean that he mistreated them, or used them for labor. It can also mean is one of the biggest hypocrites in history.

Answer 37

i agree

Answer 38

Did you notice that all the Runaway Slave Ads name the slave that ran away? Do you think this helps in the return of the runaway slave explain why or why not.

Answer 39

Yes I do, as it will give a way for someone who find the slave to get his/her attention, or at least, give them something to call them. If you were in a crowded street, and someone yells "hey you" or "Guy!" would you think they were talking to you?

Answer 40

How effective do you think these types of Runaway Slave Ads and others were in the return of runaway slaves?

Answer 41

Apparently, quite effective, as the "Runaway Slave Laws" were enacted, in with all runaway slaves were to be returned to their owner upon capture, and often times bounty hunters were the ones capturing them.

Answer 42

What kinda evidence could we add

Answer 43

The fact that they continued to post fliers.

Answer 44

ok thanks so much for helping :)

Answer 45

You're welcome.
