[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5267886, member: 24302"] First off not defending slavery. Second have you seen slave quarters? They didn't live in a nice suburb. No insulation, no electric, poor quality wood. And the slaves built their housing. Clothes were crap and food was grown by slaves too. Cotton was labor intensive, required a lot of workers before mechanization. And then there's the matter of finding people willing to do the back breaking work for low wages. Until machinery came along slavery was the most economical way to produce cotton and other labor intensive crops. Not justifying it, it just was the way it was. Thankfully you live in a time where you can make your way in a country where you can have a decent life. [/QUOTE]
