The greatest nation on earth was built by slaves which means that we missed on a lot of progress by abolishing it.
Imagine all the lives in Africa not being wasted on dying from starvation and being used for something greater instead. And the progress could save billions of people in the future for centuries to come.
Henry Diaz
it's a great tragedy that southerners stood in the way of its abolition at the founding of our national charter in the 1790s as so many wished

Whoa revisionism Also
Mason Davis

Oliver Mitchell
Who said we abolished slavery?
Kevin Powell
They didn't really build it because they didn't have the education. They quarried the stone.
Colton Rivera
My history teacher told me that slavery built America. Why am i called racist for wishing that slavery existed longer to build even more?
Angel Garcia
yes, in that same vein, oxen, mules, and donkeys were our finest artisans
Noah Wright
Wow. Op here please no racism guys
Adrian Campbell
>morally wrong If your morals are progress for the sake of progress then yeah, I guess.
Cooper Fisher
Slavery is a crappy Economic system. Our nation has advanced much faster through people who worked for a salary.
Matthew Davis
You could still have slavery while paying slaves. A type of serfdom if you will
Liam James
it really was in more ways than people think, equipment had to be made with more material in the south, since salve laborers would abuse all of it, leading to excess costs, there was a phenomenon of the livestock being less healthy than their northern counterparts for similar reasons, slaves would abuse the animals as much as they would a spade, southern horses, and other draft animals were pathetic in size and strength
Isaiah Cooper
Because slavery in the United States was race based and the practice of chattel slavery striped people of agency
Lincoln Lee
Slavery did not build America. Your teacher is a lying left wing globalist puppet. The free market built America. The north progressed way faster than the south because the north didn't have slavery.
Bentley Ortiz
Then it's not quite slavery, per se. But feudalism seems rather un-libertarian and un-American to me.
Ayden Flores
Uh, check the census records. There were plenty of slave in the North. Also plenty of indentured servants. There were just more abolitionists in the North.
Gavin Sanders
Niggers are workers. Whites are architects.

The question mark flags and the fact that all comment numbers are in order means it's originally a thread from another board. You can also see it here since they were already linking to Sup Forums. I was just wondering if it came from /his/.
