"What did a slave get paid?"

The samee things that you buy with youur paycheck, a roof over your head, clothes on your back, and food in your stomach. Being a slave in the south in a lot of cases was better than being an Irish factory worker in the north. In fact the slave had it better when he could not work because of weather or illness the slave master still fed him. When the factory worker could work he starved.
