		It follows in the path by which a slave went from one plantation to the slave market in New Orleans to a new plantation in the Lower South.
		The purchase of a first slave for a man just starting to build his fortune was an act of hope; the buyers dreams of prosperity rested upon the slave whom he had chosen, in a sense transferring dependence from the slave to the paternalist himself.
