Quote:I'm talking about the first world the industrial revolution alone would've put slavery out of business


Not to mention it was massively unconstitutional and a violation of natural rights.

 

Totally disagree.  The power structure was set to maintain slavery in perpetuity.  The only thing that changed it was war, cuz the powers that owned slaves were not going to give up that free labor without a fight.  

 

I mean, come on.  Think of it like a rational man.  If a business endeavor can cut costs and increase profits by exploiting free/cheap labor, why would you let it go willingly?  They wouldn't.

 

To deny that is to ignore the basic flaw of all men.
