Just wondering your thoughts

[titans&bucs&bearsohmy!]

Much better.

The south would have developed industry much sooner, as they would have had to, or pick the damn cotton themselves.

We wouldn't have a massive underclass to try and educate and incarcerate.

All this PC crap wouldn't exist.

The civil war would have never happened.

[SUXBNME]

The cotton industry would suck?

In all honesty, pretty loaded question. Even for you

A little history here. There never was slavery in Europe nor the US in the early days. The Europeans found it in Africa when they explored it, as America was being popularized. African tribes would go to war and the winner would enslave the losers. They then sold THEIR slaves to Europeans who then imported them to America. It's not an American issue or a black/white issue. Blacks in Africa started it.

Yes it would.
Part of the price of free speech / freedom from tyranny is our 'right' to vocalize our opinions.
If we never enslaved anyone, there would still be class warfare / bigotry / hate (whatever), but just directed in a different way.
In otherwords, I'm kinda drunk, and I'm sure that this post makes no sense to anyone but myself, so fock off.
seriously

Um no. Slavery had existed in Europe for over a thousand years. The Roman Empire was a slave society.

Not to mention the Indians practiced slavery long before whitey stepped foot in the Americas.

Not to mention that most people in Europe were still serfs, which are just slaves tied to a given piece of land. Instead of buying them outright, they came with the house.

Alsonotreally. Yes, serfs were tied to the land. Part of their crops went to the land owner, the rest were theirs to keep. More like rent than slavery. There were no whips and the like. They could leave if the could find a better deal. Communications at that time made that difficult but not impossible. They weren't hunted down if they left.

And, ancient Rome was centuries removed from the founding of America. Sure it went on with cavemen as well. Fail.

Serfdom varied widely from country to country. In England, it was pretty benign (although not so much in Ireland), as you said. In Russia, it was outright slavery, with whips (the knout) and everything. In France and Spain, it was somewhere in between.

And I only brought up Rome to refute your assertion that "there never was slavery in Europe." If you want some more recent examples, see the Vikings, and as late as the 18th Century, the Ottomans were making massive slave raids into the Ukraine.

You are correct that Slavery existed in Africa prior to the arrival of the Europeans, and in most cases, it was the Africans who sold each other to the Europeans. However, it was a different and more benign type of slavery than what developed in the sugar colonies of the carribean.
