In the eighteenth century, slavery was integral to global commercial activities, particularly in the transatlantic economy. Enslaved Africans were forcibly transported to the Americas, where they provided labor for lucrative cash crops such as sugar, tobacco, and cotton, driving economic growth in Europe and the colonies. This system not only fueled the triangular trade, linking Europe, Africa, and the Americas, but also contributed to the wealth of European nations and the rise of mercantilism. The exploitation of enslaved labor thus formed a cornerstone of global trade networks and economic structures during this period.
No. Slavery tended to prevent the South from using the new industrialized economies of that period.
Some theories argue that globalization has lead to slavery and child labor. Globalization has possibly assisted terrorist and criminals in their activities.
Proponents of slavery in the 19th century, particularly in the Southern United States, argued that it was essential for the economy due to the profitability of cash crops like cotton, tobacco, and sugar. They claimed that enslaved labor was crucial for maintaining agricultural productivity and economic growth in the region. Additionally, some politicians and economists at the time believed that slavery provided a stable labor force that was necessary for the South's economic structure. These arguments were often reinforced by social and racial ideologies that dehumanized enslaved individuals and justified their exploitation.
