Like say the African tribe leaders never captured their own people and sold them off to white men. How would USA and Africa be different? And how would the lives of both white and black people be ? Better or worse

there wouldn't be very many black people in America. poor white people would have been employed to pick cotton in the south. tensions wouldn't be as high. people might still be racist against them, but more like how they are racist to asians.

How do you figure? Did America take all the scientists and engineers?

They technically didn't "take" slaves. They were sold for a price by tribe leaders. They were the ones who originally took their own people against their will

"take" as in "accept" then, either way.

Europe did just fine for itself for a long time without slaves. The US may have taken longer to become an economic powerhouse, but pretending like slaves were somehow necessary for the US to grow is just stupid.

Due to the vastly lower population (throwing the concept of race aside), our economy would be better off and we would have fewer people living on the streets, lower crime rate, and each individual would be more wealthy.

I listened to a podcast about this: the concept of GDP didn't exist at that point, but people have calculated that, if it did, over 30% of the US' GDP would have come from slave labour

it's literally the main reason for America's wealth
