I agree with you there.

however slavery is a different matter entirely

How?

because slaves dont take money from the economy

black slavery prevanted Amercians from working in some jobs.

they pay the tax of their freedom and their lives

yes they did prevent other americans from working in the same jobs but at the same time they didint benifit from it

they had a fate worse then unemployment

I agree.

"the natives were fighting the Amercians to try to prevent the Amercians from building a country."

That statement is wrong on several levels. 1st, not all tribes fought against settlers. They did work side by side when they were fighting a common enemy tribe. 2, they were not fighting a country being built, they were fighting a foreign invader. That would be like saying the US fighting Russians on US soil is the US fighting the building of a country.

as such they can only be consitered as contributing to the nation because their labor only went into the nations economy never into their own self interest

Slavery only benefited the slave owners it didn't benefit the country, it didn't benfit the workers, and it didn't benefit the economy.

it benifited the country

How?

most northern factorys were cotton production mills

It's kept the South poor, prevented industrialization and innovation.

actually the south was VERY rich

No it wasn't mate.

industrialization occured in the north because of the slavory in the south

not in the long term.

yes it was m8

yes in the long term

aryan your denile of facts makes it very difficult to argue with you. just tell me my mom is gay and be done with it

Industrialization occured in the north because of the cotton industry which by the way used free labour as well as slave labour.

It prevented the need to innovate, and used laborers that had no will to do a good job. 1 slave =/= 1 good paid worker

They we're rich because they owned most of the farm land for cotton, and everyone around them was still poor.

Most people who lived in the south didn't have the money to get slaves

to think that slavory, that thing that was one of the most profitable bussinesses in history that DROVE the industrial revolution in the united states. didint have any contribution to the national economy or development is fucking batshit insane

What industrial revolution happen in the south?

If you look at the numbers slavery was the worst thing to happen to the south. http://www.nber.org/chapters/c0606.pdf

nigga the entire country benifited off of slavery

theres a reason it took so god damn long to abolish it

No it didn't. It kept the south poor look at the numbers.

Why spend money on expensive machines and labor when you could buy slaves that could reproduce?

In the short term it allowed rich people to get richer and did Jack all to help the people of the south.

Just plantation owners

because you needed expensive machines and labor to produce products FROM COTTON PLANTATIONS

when you pick raw cotton its useless

you have to turn it into something, thats what the north's economy was based on

Yes, and the amount of cotton picked and speed at which it was picked was hampered by slaves

You needed more slaves to do less work
