Lot of Three New Orleans Slave Tax Documents
<B>Lot of Three New Orleans Slave Tax Documents</B></I>. Three partially printed slave tax documents, about 6.5” x 3.25” each, two in English, one in French, New Orleans, with dates ranging from 1833 and 1834. Each document is hand numbered, has the slave owner’s name on the front, and the number of slaves on which the tax is levied on the reverse. Apparently the tax rate per slave was levied at one dollar per slave. Each document has slightly toned with age, else they are in remarkably fine condition. <BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
