Slavery Made America - The Atlanticthe profit of those that owned slaves were minimal at best, and from what I've heard is they would have been better off to pick it themselves

"...by 1860, there were more millionaires (slaveholders all) living in the lower Mississippi Valley than anywhere else in the United States.
"In the same year, the nearly 4 million American slaves were worth some $3.5 billion, making them the largest single financial asset in the entire U.S. economy, worth more than all manufacturing and railroads combined."
Surely, you can appreciate how a century of free labor would turbocharge a country's industrialization?It puts our current standard of living in a slightly different light
it does??????? I'd love to hear you explain how!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
owning slaves was not free labor,,,Surely, you can appreciate how a century of free labor would turbocharge a country's industrialization?It puts our current standard of living in a slightly different light

The Economics of the Civil War
"Historical research has a way of returning to the same problems over and over.
"The efforts to explain regional patterns of economic growth and the timing of the United States’ 'take-off' into industrialization, together with extensive research into the 'economics' of the slave system of the South and the impact of emancipation, brought economic historians back to questions dealing with the Civil War."
Democrats take black voters for granted, and Republicans ignore them. Which is worse?at the end of today the democrats are still using the blacks for their own profits

The Economics of the Civil War
"Slave labor was the foundation of a prosperous economic system in the South.
"To illustrate just how important slaves were to that prosperity, Gerald Gunderson (1974) estimated what fraction of the income of a white person living in the South of 1860 was derived from the earnings of slaves..."
"In the seven states where most of the cotton was grown, almost one-half the population were slaves, and they accounted for 31 percent of white people’s income; for all 11 Confederate States, slaves represented 38 percent of the population and contributed 23 percent of whites’ income.
"Small wonder that Southerners — even those who did not own slaves — viewed any attempt by the federal government to limit the rights of slaveowners over their property as a potentially catastrophic threat to their entire economic system."
Which population contained less than 3% slaves?ou are aware that les than 3% of the population were slaves??? not sure how that could have a big effect as you say,,,

You're ignoring the fact blacks, unlike every other race in the country had two big handicaps: a century of chattel slavery followed by another hundred years of Jim Crow.because I'd like to know the answer, the repubes think that blacks are smart enough to take care of themselves just like every other race in the country,,,its the dems that think blacks are to stupid to take care of themselves so they hand out freebies to get votes,,,,

For example, for most Americans their home represents their biggest store of wealth. For generations, blacks were denied federally insured mortgage opportunities the government provided to whites of equal credit worth.
For the last fifty years Republicans have pursued a southern strategy designed to minimize black electoral influence not that Democrat have performed much better.
Interstate Voter Crosscheck is one of the best recent examples I've seen of minority voter suppression tactics:You're ignoring the fact blacks, unlike every other race in the country had two big handicaps: a century of chattel slavery followed by another hundred years of Jim Crow.because I'd like to know the answer, the repubes think that blacks are smart enough to take care of themselves just like every other race in the country,,,its the dems that think blacks are to stupid to take care of themselves so they hand out freebies to get votes,,,,

Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck Program - Wikipedia
"Interstate Voter Registration Crosscheck (commonly referred to as IVRC or Crosscheck) is a database software program designed which aggregates voter registration records from multiple states to identify voters who may have registered or voted in two or more states.
"Crosscheck was developed in 2005 by Kansas Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh in conjunction with Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska.
"The program is currently under fire for its inaccuracy, poor data security, and potential for racial bias."
Republicans recognize Democrats outnumber them so they resort to fraudulent name matching standards in order to deny legitimate voters an opportunity to cast their ballots.Interstate Voter Crosscheck is one of the best recent examples I've seen of minority voter suppression tactics:You're ignoring the fact blacks, unlike every other race in the country had two big handicaps: a century of chattel slavery followed by another hundred years of Jim Crow.because I'd like to know the answer, the repubes think that blacks are smart enough to take care of themselves just like every other race in the country,,,its the dems that think blacks are to stupid to take care of themselves so they hand out freebies to get votes,,,,

not sure how a law that makes sure the vote is secure and counts one man one vote suppress's anyones vote,,,if anything it protects the vote
now if people commit a crime then deal with that, dont make false claims
why are democrats so opposed to vote security
