@analogsaint @kmele That's a counterfactual that can never be proven. Slavery was almost obviously an economic boon. And we can never know what America would have been without it, we only know that we did it. — PolitiTweet.org

@heartofhonor231 @kmele I always find it interesting how people like you disconnect slavery from the Northern economy. Where were the banks and insurance companies financing and insuring enslaved? Where do you think the cotton came from that was spun in the textile mills? The ships built? Try thinking. — PolitiTweet.org
