Such a bullshite statement.. Yeah it may have made some plantation owners wealthy but it didn't build America. Doesn't take much brain power to actually look that shite up.

Funny how you chose companies that were developed during the industrial and post-industrial revolution.
Slavery was VERY important as an industry during the pre-revolutionary period and antebellum period in the US. The money generated from slave labor was vital to the US competing with foreign powers of Great Britain and France.
Slave labor started to slow down I production capability around the time machinery became the norm in most factories. If not for the Cotton Gin, slavery possibly would have ended before the Civil War occurred in the US.
Keep in mind, one of outlying causes of the Civil War was that Northern Industries were couldn't compete with cheaper slave labor in the South.

I truly believe that technology and the flood of immigrants would have hastened the voluntary end of slavery Before the turn of the century. There was already a growing movement for it and human slaves would have become cost inefficient. You might have even seen a large repatriation to Africa.
And perhaps racial strife wouldn’t have been what it was

All of them combined x’s 100000000, and it’s still not worth the issues that came from the “builders”.
