What if American Slavery Never Existed?

The Atlantic Slave Trade changed the demographics of the world forever and connected three continents. The act of slavery itself was so horrific it's affects are still seen to this day. So in a world where slavery never existed, what could things look like?

    That’s an excellent point, actually. Less workers could force people to invent ways around slow production. But I think that they’d need to suddenly lose a decent portion of the workforce, increasing the need for workers or something that could replace them Maybe once the native people died off enough in the Caribbean, then people would’ve innovated ways to keep production up

    Got here because the thought just occurred to me, I googled the scenario and your video was very near the top and looked like the most compelling rabbit hole to go down. Glad I made the leap, you covered this from multiple angles I hadn’t considered. Seems like at the end of the day, bad things are always going to happen when profit is the sole motive. If you force one bad thing out of the picture, another one just comes in to fill the vacuum. Maybe there’s a video to be made on what it profit never became a motivator for humanity, but then I can only imagine the myriad consequences that would emerge as a result there as well.

    That's highly unlikely considering that jazz, Hip Hop and rap, and Afro-Caribbean musical styles were a direct response to slavery. These musical forms were an expression of freedom, which unlikely would have been created without the catalyst of slavery. To your point, I would argue that there would have been alternative forms of music that would have developed, but they would lack the cultural responsiveness and edginess of Black music today. Listen to Lupe Fiasco's "All Black Everything" if you haven't already. I like the alternate timeline where slavery never happened, and the Beastie Boys Eminem invented rap and then inspired Tupac Shakur. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

You can even go through sugar withdrawal which can lead to mental imbalances such as severe depression. The term "sugar high" isn't to far off and a "sugar crash" is much like coming down from a "drug".

    The financial side of slavery was taught in an Anti- racism course I took. How that financial side sparked legal support of "race" for political reasons. Specifically that all original slaves in America were indentured but with the loss of labor after time served those with the wealth sought to retain their free labor. It is fascinating and people should learn more about our history. Learn how legally and politically those in power sought to get the public to be ok with permanent slavery for certain peoples. Race was a legally defined construct. One could be a different race dependent on the state they lived. People could petition the Supreme Court to legally change their race.

    I was playing a few weeks ago and the "slave" topic was brought up because I am portuguese. I mentioned that someone was wrong by saying that "we" (because I'm not 500 years old) started slavery. I mentioned that slavery was already a common practice and African kingdoms would take advantage of it and even sell slaves to the Europeans. I was immediately contradicted by someone who said they were African and that, according to what they learned at school, "We" were the villains that came into their homes and kidnapped them. I mean, I ended the talk shortly after, there's no way I'm gonna tell someone "No, you're completely wrong and I feel like you've been lied to all your life". Any thoughts on this? (Yes, slavery was humanely brutal and wrong, I do not defend or support any of it. My point is that the Portuguese and Spanish from that time did not invent slavery, it's probably the oldest practice on Earth.)

You didn't own slaves yourself, and you know that slavery is wrong, so you really aren't the villain. Even then, it was a different time period back then, if someone was different, they were probably enslaved or taken advantage of. Your ancestors just happened to be part of the unenslaved percentage.

This is the oldest and first slave system (excluding the greater Asian continent). It's one of the most historically brutal things one human has done to another, and for perspective comparison it was many times worse than any other similar system. The scale of it was insane and it's still alive today in smaller forms.

It's a sad fact that Europeans named the continent after a white Dutch explorer. That certainly wasn't the last time that would happen, ask the Native Americans. I think it's very telling of your own predilections that you'd make such postulation predicated on at best spin. Having said that I agree that America would not be on the map as a world super power if not for slavery.

Maybe Ritchie Valens esque Latino rock (which does share a ton with classic Chuck Berry style rock n roll) would've been one of the defining cultural trends of the 50s and 60s, say, instead.

    Enclave Soldier States rights, cultural differences, and economic differences were also reasons for the Civil War, but, slavery was the main reason without a doubt. The Confederacy’s economy was solely reliant on slave labor. If it disappeared the entire southern economy would crash forcing plantation owners into financial ruin. The south already had a substantial wealth gap with the large plantation owners having most of the money, their downfall would’ve meant everybody’s ruin. The Confederacy had everything to lose when it came to the abolishment of slavery, they just didn’t want to go down without a fight.

    They used indentured servants for hundreds of years. The problem was - at the end of their term - you were supposed to let them go. They were then supposed to be able to get land and become productive colonists. People volunteered to be indentured servants. In the South, slavery ruined all this resulting in poor whites being effectively surplus and pushed into marginal swamps and mountains. In the north, without slaves, land grants encouraged a constant stream of peasant farmers to settle.

    Not super sure, but I do think there have been a few cases in which forceful invasions with an army were not successful in the Americas. This was due to the numbers of soldiers that could be sent all the way from Europe to the new world and the amount of time needed to send reinforcements. It might have been possible for natives to win just with numbers and better knowledge of the land (allowing them to use surprise attacks and traps. If Europeans are unable to keep a constant stream of soldiers being sent over and are faced with the increasing costs, then what would they do?

    It's only a triggering conversation because you literally CAN'T just look at the cold hard facts because those facts are so hard and cold. If we had just been left alone in Africa we would have interacted with the rest of the world by choice. On our time. I would not be see coopting and simultaneous destruction of my culture constantly. I would not be fearing for my life from someone who hates me or FEARS me because I don't match their skin tone. To be clear. This isn't to attack you as I think this vid does a great job of recounting world history without a filter. I can appreciate the care you took in the topic and hopefully it illuminates the depth of this historic tragedy to your non POC viewers. I am slightly worried though and here's why. While we are not a monolith, almost no Black or Pan African person CARES how much gold, tobacco, sugar, land or cotton would have been lost had our lives not been forfeit. Because it wasn't just indentured servitude, which is what most Non-Colonial or Non- American slavery was at the time. THAT was what our Kings and Queens thought they were selling people into. We sold slaves within our own continent... but the difference was they were still considered people. Not beasts of burden. Not being of sin made for generations of pain, SA, R, exploitation and torture at the hands of hateful colonists. I know so many who would trade every drop of profit and ounce of progress for the lives of our ancestors... The colonists would have had to work for themselves and empires would not have been built on our backs. Or more likely and just as screwed... it would have been done to another people. If you are a non POC this gets to be just a thought experiment or controversial thought provoking head canon, [well researched though it is] For us it's deeply deeply personal. And the saddest part is your video really highlighted once again how much the world has profited off us while it continues to try and destroy us, and it's been happening since foreign feet touched the Motherland's shores. The long short of it is is the Transatlantic Slave Trade not happening would have caused a domino effect that would have forced the rest of the world to progress and evolve [waaaay slower] without free labor. And I really think our world would be better off for it.

Slavery not being a thing would have acted in the same way, European workers wouldn't want to live in the colonies... Unless you paid them well. It may well have ended in smaller more advanced nations in the end.

That said, the US would still grow, but slower, and differently. Expansion South and West would have been slower. This gives the Native Americans more time to organize and fight back. Maybe a real strong Indian Confederacy, State or Country based around the Great Lakes? Remember... there were 100 million Native Americans in the Americas...
