| 释义 |
In addition to his freedom, in exchange for his service, Congo received {{convert|2|sq_arp|ha acre|lk=in}} of land located on the outskirts of New Orleans[1][3] and received a regular ration of wine.[2] Also, although his wife was not formally freed, she was permitted to live with him and was relieved of labor.[4] Congo also received monetary compensation for each punishment inflicted: flogging earned him 10 pounds, while hanging was worth 30 pounds, and he was compensated 40 pounds for breaking someone on the wheel or for burning someone alive.[4] It is noted that, unusual for a black man in his time and place, Congo could sign his name.[2] It is suspected that said name was created in reference to the places he lived: Louis for Louisiana, Congo for the region of his birth.[2] If, as his name indicates, he did come from the region of the Congo Basin, records suggest that he was brought to the Americas in 1721 aboard la Neréide, which was the only ship known to have traveled from Cabinda, Angola, to Biloxi in the French colony.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 Dawdy, Shannon Lee.
