If slavery made America rich why were the northern states richer than the southern states? Why is Canada which never had slaves more successful than Brazil which had slaves until 1890? Why is Mauritania which practices slavery today not an economic powerhouse? If Europe is rich thanks to colonialism as the leftists say, why is Portugal, the longest-lasting Western empire (1415-1999) poorer than countries that didn't have colonies like Poland, Slovenia, or Finland?

Slavery was one part of what made America rich. America had vast natural resources and not enough people to take advantage of them. Slavery provided the people.
