It is fair to say that most of the wealth of the western world can be attributed to slavery. America is still making money off of slavery today, some of these well known American companies today got their start during slavery.
proved it with a screenshot of unsourced text lmao
they have to be real moronic to believe slaves were not profitable.
"The money was in other things"
Yeah, guess what gave the slave owners time to do these mysterious other things.

Well done jidf. Or are you a moderator, they are dumber.
Adjusted for inflation that's over $60000 for one slave. There's no way they cost anything close to that much. Maybe $6000 for a good slave, maybe $600 or less for most.
>discounting that slaves reproduce themselves >discounting that if you buy a child slave it's way cheaper
But yeah, in Cotton Kingdom Frederick Olmsted interviews slave owners and one very openly told him that slavery barely makes a profit, at most he broke even. But there was a culture in the South of whites never doing "slave work" even if it meant abject poverty. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't find enough paid laborers.
The book is a fascinating read.
yes, you did.
2000 dollars was the price of a healthy skilled male slave. There is no reason to buy that, you could get a slave for have or less than that.
also you could rent out your slaves. A part of the slaves on your plantation could be used as rental slaves almost exclusively.
Also cotton wasn't the only product the slave economy produced, the produced tobacco, rice, wheat, corn etc. The plantations could sustain themselves on food.
Show your math worthless moron.

Now frick off.
That refutes your point. Show your math worthless moron. Show slavery was profitable.

if read my initial post and not just screeched like a moron, you would've read that I even mentioned a contemporary book that said slavery was barely profitable.
But your math was incredibly simplistic and had several wrong assumptions: like the price of a slave, that you need to buy slaves constantly, that they only produced cotton and that cotton was the only means of making money with slaves: You could rent them out, you could produce foodstuffs with them, you could produce tobacco with them, they could help build infrastructure on your plantations, they reduce transport cost etc etc

>I made none of those assumptions and your reply is literally mentally moronic.
Yes you did. You claimed one price for slaves (not true), one mode of making money with them (also not true), a production quota which is bullshit and one static price for bread and cotton (also obviously not true)
because you think you can calculate the entire economic structure of a very specific class in a very specific country in the 1850s with like 4 static numbers. It's a VERY complex question that needs a book-length breakdown of all the factors.

>s. It's a VERY complex question that needs a book-length breakdown of all the factors
It's not. It's so obviously unprofitable and you're too dumb to add the food cost vs the cotton produced.
YES FOOD COST IS A COMPLEX QUESTION, you fricking imbecile:
What do they eat? What does the plantation produce for itself? How much do they eat? What does storage cost? What does food preparation cost?
Answer every one of those questions exactly, or you can't calculate the actual food cost.
The example you mentioned is bread, bread is a food stuff that is already prepared: Buying just the ingredients for bread is already cheaper and letting the slaves bake the bread for no labor cost.
The guy that thinks you can answer complex economic processes with "lol just add and subtract, moron" calls other people stupid.
also, the confederacy had more israelites in the government than the Union had. Google Judah P. Benjamin. No matter how much you call people jidf.

Even if they eat the cheapest possible food on wholesale prices it loses money.

They weren't you worthless, moronic piece of shit making up false information based on nothing.
The south had no cows or beef whatsoever and that was not local. It had almost none of the food it consumed besides corn.
At this point jidf is just waiting for me to leave the thread and get bored.
The triumph of jidf in this endurance contest is a mark of the pure moronation of his.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Duncan >Duncan sold his crops through the merchant firm Washington, Jackson & Co. in New Orleans, instructing them to sell it through their subsidiary Todd, Jackson & Co. in Liverpool, England.[10] The revenue derived from the cotton and sugar sales was sent to Charles P. Leverich & Co., his bank headquartered in New York.[10] His plantations yielded returns of US$150,000 annually.[10] > In the 1850s, Duncan owned more than 1,000 slaves, making him the largest resident slave holder in Mississippi
Bread cost 30 cents a day. That's $100 per year.
These are wholesale prices, the retail price is at least double.
1,000 slaves costing $200 a year is $200,000. The revenue was $150,000.
Slavery was never profitable even for top slave owners.
Christ, so slavery was unprofitable, why did they keep slaves. I can somewhat understand slavery if it benefits the owners but now it seems like the owners just enjoyed keeping people captive, whip them, rape them and humiliate them. No different from sadistic psychopaths who kidnap people into their sex dungeons. The massive evilness of Americans never cease to amaze me.
you know all those labor studies, like the one about better lighting in factories improving worker productivity? that entire field didn't come about until the early 20th century
a lot of people just didn't really realize that slavery was ultimately less profitable than wage workers. and hell, on the surface, it seems to make sense that slavery should be cheaper. but it isn't in most cases, although exceptions for time, place, specifics (like how cheap slaves were acquired or how well they work or the crops they produce), did of course exist.
inertia, encouraged by ignorance and those few exceptions, are what made slavery so common.
also remember that slavery in the americas often arose as an imperfect replacement of a system that no longer worked. in the spanish colonies, as supplies of indians dwindled due to the spread of old world diseases, farms and mines which had depended upon that supply of cheap labor needed to be replenished.
in the english colonies, as the reality that indentured servitude was much worse and harsher in america than back home become known, all those indentured servants needed to be replaced.
and as european trade with west africa grew, warlords realized the benefits of slavery, and a huge slave raid system lead to excesses of cheap slaves to be purchased on the west african coast.

Suthrons fought and died for a war to be unprofitable, protect an unprofitable way of life, and prevent their unprofitable economy from being destroyed by the tariffs of northern aggression. It was a war about state's rights, state's rights to be unprofitable.
Did you know NK has a lot of ports. Yet OP claims they don't.
OP also claims engines on ships aren't real and that gdp = tourism when in his own picture he posts it is proven wrong with Liberia having 0 tourism yet a high gdp
lmao do you guys think the dude saying israelites were legitimately all “what’s that??? You want a loan for ten thousand dollars? I don’t know…. Wait, if you can’t pay I get five Black folk in collateral? Collect your money at the front!” is trolling or genuine
so the israelites first get everyone’s Black folk in loans they couldn’t pay then use their newfound Black person bullion (nullion) to make money? But doesn’t Black person slavery not make profit?
And?
Capitalism was never profitable.

Whatever Tyrone, no one was paying 60k for your great grandpa. That's ludicrous on the face of it.
Well done jidf.
Jews owned most slaves and controlled the slave trade. It was profitable enough.
Jews did own all the slaves but the rest of your argument is gibberish.
The replies thus far are mentally moronic, I see no objection.
If slavery wasn't profitable then how come it happened? Those slave plantations wouldn't have been running if they weren't making money.
Jews issued loans. Slaves were used as collateral not as actual workers.
Doesn't answer the question
Lol
It does answer the question. But well done jidf.
Being able to use slaves as collateral for a loan does not explain how slave plantations made money.
It does, worthless moron.
>it doesn't
>but it does
Your trolls are not amusing.
Borrowing money is not making money... not sure, but you might be moronic.
Obviously you are mentally moronic and slavery was never profitable.
I see. You're only pretending to be moronic. Have fun then.
Well done jidf. Or are you a mod, only mods are mentally moronic.

Because the "math professor" already tried and failed to refute op I'm 100% certain every post below will be literal Down syndrome cases.
Slaves didn't cost $2000 if you bred them and didn't cost that much to feed if you didn't feed them bread.
The $2000 dollar has no effect on the calculation. It is a filter. Anyone mentioning it is mentally moronic and slavery was never profitable.
Yeah. Slavery was never profitable.
Thomas Jefferson died in debt. Literally no slave owner had significant wealth besides bankers.
