What would america(s) and the world be like if they never imported African labor?

Would the Arab world have become the dominant global force opposed to the Western European one?

The Muslims have already committed far more people to slavery than the Americans can ever dream of (and still do today). Hasn't helped them much.

Also, Americans would've just used the Irish and other Europeans.

Irish were unfit for hard labor in tropical/subtropical environments.

America probably would not have become a coast to coast nation, and would have probably become more akin to Australia.
>>
>>2804287
When slavery ended Americans imported Italians to work the sugar plantations so hey probably would have used Europeans. Just not the Irish
>>
>>2804304
Why aren't there more Italians in the Caribbean then?

>Why aren't there more Italians in the Caribbean then?
Because there were few Italian slaves? Even then there were plenty of Italian settlers in the Spanish colonies

>>2804321
I was only referring to USA. Most of them returned home after making some money.

Slavery never really ended in a hard concrete way. Slavery as we think of it today is a result of semantics and language manipulation, for reasons. Even after "slavery" ended, many blacks were still working in agriculture and in abject poverty(ie. slavery).
>>
>>2804287
We used Chinese laborers for the rail road. Other than cotton and tobacco plantations blacks weren't used that much. As general labor but nothing that required their tolerance for tropical heat.

Not really. The Atlantic slave trade reached at the mirror.imum the numbers of the Me slave trade (not muslim despite what you claim)
>>

The Americas as a whole. Heat and solar radiation tolerance as well as tolerance to tropical diseases made them absolutely necessary. Also they were used extensively as soldiers.

I know people like to understate their contributions to America, and I know they have their reasons, but it is really disingenuous.

You fisrt question is dumb but the second is shit tier.

Arabs utilized African tribes for labor, concubines, and soldiers. They blend in the Sahel, and that was the same dynamic that gave rise to the moors.

The colonial need for Africans depleted the supply and jacked up the price.
>>
>>2804199
Lmfao what? The southern system of slavery was already outpaced by northern industry by the time the civil war was fought, which is why they lost. All that cheap labor did was give them an easy option so they wouldn't need to industrialize and build machines that did the work that slaves would have.
>>
>>2806246
It's just a thought experiment. Without the influence of African diaspora in the Americas world history would have taken an entirely different trajectory.
