Ok, were gonna PRETEND that we didnt bring the blacks over as slaves...Now who helped make america the agricultural Superpower it is...ok, so we dont have slaves, which means we have to put white people in the feilds now, (which we did..indendured servants) we go ahead 100 years, no slaves means no cival war, no cival war means no emancipation proclimation, no emancipation proclimation means no desegrigation, no desegrigation means no equal rights, no equal rights means no affirmitave action...so now in this new "utopia" that never had slaves, you tell me when and how did the africans get over here, they had no knowalage of the sea or of how to build ships, they were an indigiounes people, so very few of them ever came to america, now this of course means that we have very few if any African americans, which means there is no longer that 1/3 of american culture, and now the cultural landscape of the americans is a whole lot whiter...Sound better for blacks...fast forward 250+ years to today and all the decendants of those would be slaves would still be in africa, and we all know what africa is like....but without the free labor of the slaves, the colonies would have never survived, which means that america failed to become what it is today, probebly easily invaded in 1812 when the british attacked and tried to regain control, now that democracy failed we are locked into a world where the king of england is in charge....
I dont like that scenario any better than the one that happened, do you?
