Not to its victims:The textile industry in the US and England depended on two things during their early years: high tariffs and slave labor. Capitalism grew up behind heavy tariffs, slavery, and military savagery, as places like India, the Congo, Mississippi, and Somalia prove. Capitalism thrives wherever property rights trump human rights.
Your claim that the textile industry depended on those thing is obviously false since somehow it managed to get along without slaver after the war. It manages to survive without high tariffs now.
Your concept "military savagery" is utterly meaningless.

My claim was the textile industry depended on slave labor and high tariffs during its formation which it did. Capitalism thrives in climates of free labor and government protected monopolies.
Protection from what? The textile industry in the Britain which... DID NOT have slave labor.
Again, I already posted links to several economists which concluded that protection did not cause the industry to grow. In fact, the industry did not modernize until after the protection was removed... proving it COULD survive without protection.
Correlation does not equal causation. Learn that first, then try and argue a better point.
