it would not have been as bad
Whatever they would have built wouldve been overshadowed by the northern version as they had been operating longer doing the same tasks
Not if they spent a long time constantly investing in southern industry
but that would be quite a complex thing to do
Indeed and its never as simple as it sounds.
I mean it's possible, it's just that it'd be very difficult and I mean very
The issue is that theres nothing to improve and no missing industry
Bro, have you ever heard of Ireland or Singapore?
Came from nothing, almsot no natural resources (Ireland only has some fish)
>Singapore
>no natural resources
It does have almost none though
They import most of their stuff
It's just that they are good with what little they have, same as Ireland
Besides the circumstances are different
Ye I just meant in general
there's got to be a way
Singapore was being industrialized at a point where foreigners were willing to invest heavily in industry
That feeling didnt exist until after world war two. Prior to that all nations wanted as much domestic industry as possible.
Yeah that is a good point I probably should have thought of
Ill have to study Ireland a bit more before i understand how they achieved their current status
I know a lot about Ireland, It gained its riches from good trade relations, low corporate tax making tons of beef then spent the money gained on educating people and thus also leading in the pharmaceutical industry. Summed up very simplisticly and shortly
Not saying it couldn't be done, but I don't think that what worked for Ireland would be entirely relevant to what could work for the American south. Just Texas alone is 10 times the size of Ireland and a thousand times bigger than Singapore
Yeah I get what you mean, when it comes to industralisation obv the larger the harder
it is to do
Did you know that the legend of Saint Patrick was about the man who drove the original black inhabitants out of Ireland
Ireland was originally an afro-centric colony thats why they are so good at making music
OK?

I'm fairly certain that's wrong, you got a source on that? From what I know it's about him driving the druids from Ireland and converting the people to Catholicism since he believed that the druids were "snakes" as in symbols of evil/charlatans
Source: I'm irish
Have fun 🙃

Those kind of theories quite fascinating me, where you look at author you cannot be sure how much of it its trolling and how much is actually beliving that shit.
Really? That's strange, I've never heard of the Twa people before and my granddad is very into his Irish history, so it's just a little surprising to me.
Yeah, AskHistorians is saying the Twa people being from Ireland was a myth invented around the 1800s-1900s
Website you linked is batshit insane, tho, omg
"Black people celebrating because of genetic memory" Nah, it's an excuse for all people everywhere to get drunk because the bars are full and party-hard, there's also parades and public drunkenness is pretty much ignored
Clearly the Irish just throw the best parties 😛
But yeah all jokes aside the afroperspectives thing is hokey
Leprechauns known for being dwarf-like in size - article names a height that is barely smaller than the average of the time
So what if the leprechauns are just immortal irish men hmm <:TimThink:482277772497125378>
