True
Slavery was unprofitable and hadn't been since the mid 18th century prior to the revolution. most of the money was in terms of loans used to.further it.
The large plantations had so much stuff, they weren't in danger od collapsing but the smaller ones already had.
Basically something was going to happen with the threats of civil was in the 1840s and 1850s and expansion and an untenanle system temporarily kept alive by the cotton gin.
And the mechanization of agriculture starting.
Instead of paying 1 guy to watch a dozen slaves pretend to work, you pay that guy to ride a harvester and fix it.
That's pulled by an animal.
Slavery is only profitable when you get the slaves for free.
Or you pay and free the slaves after a decade or two.
Even if you make them fucking serfs and let them keep 60% of the crop.
Also slaves are bad at noon cash crops.
And crop rotation
Like caracalla and Diocletian knew this in Rome and broke up the latifundia.
System of plantations leading to new plantations
And made serfdom.
slavery was dumb because they didn't sterilize all but the breeders
that's retarded
look up the economics of it
if they were smart they'd have given every black male a full penectomy/orchiectomy except the breeder, and made sure to select for uglier and stupider slaves
it doesn't work that way man
arabs did it that way
no they didn't
it wa salready done for them
in africa and egypt
if you are khaleed the slave trader in 1200
and you dow nthe nile to the sudan
to get some slaves
your cost is fucking enormous
to buy the slaves
you don't have colonialism and you're a medieval arab. you have nohting that an iron age bantu warrior really wants
but some spices
which also cost you a ton
you have nothing mass manufactuered for almost nothing to give the mfor somethingthat costs what a new car or morecosts today
if yo uchop the dicks off 20 of your new cars
wit ha 90% death rate
you will be broke in one trip
