Many financial/insurance companies today had ties to slavery, both taking slaves as loan collateral and through insuring slaves.

Never have seen many details on how the insuring slaves worked. Like premium to appraised value, and would it cover only death, or limiting injuries or runaways?

Was curious if anyone has ever seen details on how the insuring worked?
