Did Africans Live Longer In The Antebellum United States, Tukufu Zuberi, Carlos Grushka

Tukufu Zuberi

Excerpt from the text:

Using census data, we call for greater attention to the historical assumptions accepted in past research. Conclusions about the mortality of the enslaved in the United States is in large part a reflection of the historical assumptions made. This article argues that the accepted view of the mortality of enslaved Africans in the United States rests on fragile estimates; these estimates are not robust to flaws in the data.
