Slaveholders and slavers may "make" money from the labor of their slaves, as Southern slaveholders did, but only if there is a market for the things produced by slaves and individuals or corporate entities willing to purchase the products of slave labor. Slaves require more upkeep and maintenance than do machines, regardless if they are paid a pittance or nothing at all. They also required the expense of paying for guarantees that slaves will not run away. It is ironic that while Britain abolished slavery within its realm and waged an effective naval campaign against the slave trade in the`19th century, was one of the biggest purchases of Southern cotton before the Civil War, chiefly to keep its textile industries supplied with the material. As with totalitarian regimes, an economy based mostly on slavery could exist only if freer economies existed. Edward Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160209827969614964noreply@blogger.com
