@kmele Also, wealth is not the only way a nation is built. Nations are built by laws, customs, culture. Its undeniable that slavery shaped much of this in nascent America. So much so that we fought a civil war over it just 100 years after our founding. — PolitiTweet.org

@kmele The comparison would have to be the US economy/wealth to France, England, Portugal, etc. The slave wealth from Barbados and Jamaica didn't stay in those colonies/countries, it went to England. The wealth from slavery in US stayed in US. — PolitiTweet.org

@kmele Lastly, while the US received a small percentage of the Africans transported across the Atlantic, by the Civil War, we had the largest population of enslaved in the hemisphere. It's not just transporting across the Middle Passage that grew slavery. — PolitiTweet.org
