In every single American slave state, the population of
enslaved people kept rising even after the slave trade was
abolished. That was because enough enslaved children
were born. lived, and grew to become adults. There was
just one exception to this rule: Louisiana, where the native-
born enslaved population kept dropping. Sugar was a killer.
Unlike the Caribbean Louisiana has cold snaps. That put
an additional pressure on the sugar harvest. Not only did
the slaves need to harvest the cane in perfect rhythm with
the grinding mills, but the entire crop had to be cut down
between mid-October and December. This pace only
increased when growers installed improved steam-
powered mills. People needed to work faster than the
weather and to keep pace with machines
to inform the reader that Louisiana had fewer enslaved

hastened the sugar harvest to a few months
to inform the reader that life for enslaved people
improved when sugar mills became powered by steam
to inform the reader that Louisiana's short harvest
season meant that enslaved people were cruelly
