For each dot, there were 2,000 bales of cotton produced. Each bale of cotton could be sold for $20. Hence, each dot on the map was worth $40,000 per year when producing cotton, which of course, required slaves to plant, pick, and process the cotton. In the decade before the Civil War, 1850-1860, $40,000 was an exceptionally large amount of money.
