Pre-War Between the States wouldn't it be worth about 3/5 of a White Barbie ?  BTL That went through my mind too, but I think 3/5ths is rather generous. Politicians of that era never got to see the darkies in all their glory, desegregated and no longer afraid of whitey. Had they the opportunity to glance into the future and see what the boons would turn into, they probably would have mustered up the ships to send them ALL over to Liberia.
