Would the south have been more advanced and more economically developed if it never had slavery? I find the claim ridiculous, but think what you want. If it was so harmful, they could have stopped at any point. But year after year they continued, supposedly against their own interests. I guess the keyboard warriors of 2022 knew more than the people actually there at the time what was best for their interests.

Reality is not something that is debatable. You pretty much push the Leftist narrative of historical revisionism.

It is reality that slavery stifled innovation - where it was absent, commerce flourished due to innovation, and of course a free market labor force. This is hardly unknown to anyone with even a cursory knowledge of the history of how agriculture flourished in the North through technological innovation and remained stuck in time in the South as they continued to rely mainly on manual labor (and their belief in a master race destined to rule the inferior races - as is clearly written without any ambiguity in their resolutions of secession, stump speeches of their leaders, etc). Whereas you just make it up as you are going along even though all of the evidence of what you are claiming is to the contrary - what exactly is the point of that? Just to argue for the sake of arguing?

I didn’t push anything at all.

You are hallucinating.

“you just make it up as you are going along”

What did I make up?

You are hallucinating.
