Wasn’t the reason slavery wasn’t abolished in the constitution because the southern colonies economy was almost completely reliant on it?

Not really

Sort of

they were far less reliant on it than you think, in many cases slavery cost more than to just pay workers

The north had tons when the constitution was written

The south has ALWAYS had more slaves than the north

And the sout outside of georgia and virginia didnt really exist yet

At least not like they did in the 1800s

Georgia and Virginia had the most slaves during the founding

Yea cuz they farmed

the south had more slaves because the south's economy was more suitable to slave labor

Well yeah manual labor (unwilling or otherwise) was always more prevalent in warmer climates

the industry in the north was more skilled labor

kids thats called science

Gentlemen gentlemen, we are ALL Americans.

Not even southerners liked slavery in general lol

Long live the union

It stole their jobs

And kept them impoverished

Just because the elites of the south supported it doesnt mean the rest did

less than 10% of people in the south even owned slaves

That's like saying hollywood is a reflection of the entire countryn

owning slaves was a highly expensive business, the slave trade was where the majority of money was in slavery

which was heavily financed by international bankers and other grifters

And importing new slaves was outlawed way before the civil war

Pretty sure it was lile 1820 something

If only those tea sipping bastards didn’t bring it over here in the first place

This

yeah, would have avoided many issues

Still probably woulda been a civil war though<:KEK:726877368601411624>

It just woulda been less easy to completely discredit the south 150 years after it

prob.. except they would have claimed it was over minimum wage <:KEK:726877368601411624>

Don't act like that was because of the south

Idk what it q
Was because of

that was mostly because britain made it near impossible to import new slaves

Good work britbongs

put the royal navy to work stopping slave ships

yes, they spent a great deal of their GDP fighting slavery all over the world
