It effected the economy by making money for Americans and plantation owners, through cotton, tobacco, and other goods. When Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin, the need for slaves increased, and more had to be imported from Africa. This made money for the slave sellers, and also the American slave owners, because slave owners were able to produce more cotton.

I believe slavery should have never been abolished, and I don't mean blacks particularly , though a majority would be black. I mean making reeducated prisoners. Plus the abolishment severely harmed the economy.

-lawful oppression (slave masters could beat the crap out of slaves without any punishment)

-high illiteracy in blacks

-lower wages for blacks

The permanent effects of slavery and the plantation system are historical facts that cannot be explained away without confronting the needs for reparations to begin to correct inherent inequalities of our ecomic system and a society that continues to accept the notion that the top percent is more deserving of the wealth created by the lower rungs of the ladder.
