Slaves did NOT build this country! Comprising 10% of the population at the time, slaves were a relatively MINOR contribution to the building of the country. The other 90% of the population did the bulk of the work, obviously.

@KDswag-g9p Maybe we both know who was behind the American slave trade--the less said about that, the better! But slaves were not "needed"--labor was needed. Slaves were an available commodity for that purpose that promised economy, but didn't really deliver on that promise, which is partly why large-scale slavery fell out of favor. Maintaining a slave work force has certain necessary expenses to consider. It turned out to be more efficient to pay a "slave wage" and leave the workers to fend for themselves!

@KDswag-g9p Well, I specified "American" slave trade, didn't I! Slavery is as old as PEOPLE! And it's still going on! The "300 years" you mention is but a moment in the history of slavery. Business needs labor, but has other important concerns, as well, like efficiency, in securing its bottom line, money. But, I suppose that just sounds like more "nothing" to you. 🧐

@KDswag-g9p You are confusing "labor" and "laborer".
