Yes it does. And a slave is now cheaper than one was back during the peak of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade because the world has a larger population.

The average slave costs $90 now. Back then, one would run you $10,000 (in today's value).

Off topic, quick question: Any connection between your ethnic group and the French descendants in Louisiana?
