That's a curious price tag ... seems awfully specific. For what, exactly, did you pay $710.96? Did that price include sales tax? That was for Frederick Douglass in 1846. I don't think sales tax mattered in this transaction.
$710.96... The price of freedom.

I don't think sales tax mattered Probably not ... now you've got me wondering: did they even have sales tax then? Yet another topic for obscure historical research.
