Chattel slavery is economically inefficient. Now wage slavery, that's where it's at.

Britain's prime slave-using colonies were now severed. Suddenly, it could take the moral highground while pulling out of a trade it would likely not be as welcome in anymore (the original BUY AMERICAN!). At the same time, Britain could use it as a pretence to interfere with the budding American economy. It could also use this same excuse to interfere with the shipping of other European powers (Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, France), which it also did.

Otherwise, it continued very much to profit off of slave labour, directly and indirectly.

Team Britain: World Police.

Daily reminder that the abolishment of slavery destroyed the Caribbean and turned it from being a region of great wealth fought over by empires to a bunch of corrupt islands populated by lazy blacks

Look at Haiti, Jamacia and Cuba in the 1700's. Beautiful countryside, rich and fertile soil providing the world with sugar, coffee, tobacco, mangos, pineapples, bananas etc. all paid for by European and American investors

The Caribbean is a shadow is what it once was. No more plantations, no more investment.

The UK only decided to end slavery when it had access to the millions of cheap coolie labour from its colonies in Asia. Short run sacrifice for long run gain. Sweatshops are the new plantations.

They didn't. In fact, they made extensive use of cotton picked by US slaves to fuel their industrial revolution.

bull.

In all honesty it was the moral push from the Church of England exercising government power in their spheres of influence.

Chattel slavery is proven to be far more efficient.

this is the answer to >>1624623 this

British soldiers in Africa tended to shoot Arab slavers on site. I guess attitudes varied.

>>1624257
Slaves became less profitable than cheap labor factory workers.

>Chattel slavery is proven to be far more efficient.

Fuck no.
You have much less people to sell products to and grow your economy.

>>1625661
>Chattel slavery is proven to be far more efficient.

No it isn't, hence why every single country on Earth phased it out.

>>1624612
To be honest. They're pretty decent looking compared to most 4chan meetups.

Haiti was fucked by the constant wars and interference since it declared independence. If the frogs didn't kill Louverture it'd probably be decent.

Look up the cotton famine and the letter of thanks for services rendered by Lincoln to the cotton workers, welk

im sure this was very funny in your head

It was more profitable to have indentured servitude and slave like conditions than to have to pay for slaves food, clothing, housing etc.

>>1627231
I know about the cotton famine you sperg. But the South had a reason to believe cotton was king, and that reason was that throughout the first half of the 19th century the brits had been importing large quantities (millions of bales) of southern cotton.

Undercut competition after they lost their biggest slave colonies

And then the workers of manchester told them to fuck off with slave picked cotton.

What a coincidence, the same goes for the alt-right. Maybe the Horseshoe theory does carry some weight, after all

Industrialization made it inefficient to house, feed, secure, and train slaves. better to own a machine and pay someone a wage to use it.

>>1626500
it's not an actual leftypol meetup though,
Just some random liberals that LARP as communists.
