If cotton was so unprofitable why did they keep growing it?

You know, I didn't believe you but now that you've shown me an image talking about the soviet car industry and a screencap of a reddit thread I'm convinced. I haven't a doubt in my mind that Southern plantation owners bought people and had them toil away growing a plant that didn't even make them money.

Correct, it was a dumb pyramid scheme created by israelites.
British philosophy wasn't. Christian across cultures, across time were perfectly fine with slaves for millennia prior
abolitionist just cited the book to convince other christians
Not really, the idea was floating around europe for centuries and the French and Haitians were first to actually ban it
There were no slaves in the British isles, and no industry in the caribbean. The main produce of caribbean slavery was sugar, not exactly something that could be produced in a factory or which industralisation reduced the demand of.
France abolished it in 1793, but Napoleon brought it back when he became Emperor.

Probably bitter about the genocide.
Not the abolition.
Robespierre abolished slavery in 1793 and you cannot change that fact to prop up and lionize your niggos more than is reasonable.

Oh, I'm sorry. What do you call throwing people in a meat-grinder for over a century? The French might as well thank a second Christ for saving them from justice. >Robespierre abolished slavery in 1793
Doesn't mean anything if it doesn't go anywhere.
, and the fact that the unpaid slave labor was a short term profit that did not have a long-term support. All of that unpaid labor could have been paid, taxable jobs for citizens, watching the long run is better for the country.
>All of that unpaid labor could have been paid, taxable jobs for citizens, watching the long run is better for the country
In theory yes, in practice they just replaced all those slaves with labour that had very meagre pay and worker's rights.
Three reasons:
They'd just lost their largest slaveholding colony and most related investments, making it politically and economically painless to bend the knee to abolitionists.
They'd just gained near-total control over the wealthiest part of India, meaning they'd have a massive agricultural and tax base even if they abolished slavery.
Their rivals still allowed the practice, and opposing it on moral grounds would allow them to cripple the competition
What did they gain from abolishing slavery?
White people enjoy stomping on other races, the only reason a white empire would abolish something that stomps on other races would be if there was an advantage to it
>What did they gain from abolishing slavery?
Political approval from abolitionists at home and abroad. >the only reason a white empire would abolish something that stomps on other races would be if there was an advantage to it
It gave them an excuse to throw a spanner into their neighbors' politics and economics while they used India as a substitute. >407
Slaveholders weren't responsible for feeding slaves, and cotton didn't always go directly to the international market. Artisan slaves existed. Drop the conspiracy theory already.
>What did they gain from abolishing slavery?
fricking over the rivals that had big income in slave exportation. Being able to shift towards other means of labour that don't require you to feed and clothes workers since slave rebellions were a risk.
Probably bitter about the genocide.
Not the abolition.

>Probably bitter about the genocide.
haha france gave no shits about those. A lot of the push to punish Haiti or reintroduce slavery was done by rich plantation owners butthurt over their loss of slaves.
It was in their economic interests to weaken rival nations.
They still praticed slavery in India and some of their colonies.
They just wanted to end Atlantic slave trade for economic reasons.
You didn't buy bread for slaves, you bought, or produced yourself the bare ingredients and had the slaves make their own food. The price of slaves also peaked due to the restrictions on importation. This made slaves even more profitable because you could breed them and sell the extra. There was an entire industry of slave rentals for things like domestic servitude, they were also used in factories and mills.
Slaves were a risky investment due to the volatility of human assets, the ties to agricultural cycles, and the high up front initial costs, but it paid off for countless people right up to the civil war.
>Industrialization makes slave economy obsolete >Cotton being provided by India and Egypt >Rivals like Spain still profit off of slavery in places like Cuba >Christian Evangelicals make a massive campaign in Britain to advocate for abolitionism on a moral basis ("God's Image cut, or carved in Ebony" being a striking slogan of the era)
I'm gonna comment and not answer.
europe backslid into slavery from about 1526-1819 and engaged in slavery. Slavery faded away with the spread of christianity and by 1100 is was virtually nonexistent. when the age of empires emerged, greed and persuit of power created the need to justify enslaving other human beings. we are still paying for this grave sin to this day. It won't last forever. but for now. we suffer consequences.
Because of the industrial revolution, slaves were simply not necessary anymore.
Worthless reply.
It's the truth. Also Victorian morality played an important role.
Saying "it's the truth" is a badge of stupidity.
Pretty stupid you keep trying to hit him with zingers and haven’t refuted a thing tho
Well done jidf.

This and Christian morality never really being easily compatible with slavery.

See the second reply. Everything else in the thread is worthless.
How did Romans run their empire with slaves if it wasn't profitable?
Does history really become less efficient the further back you go?
>What did they gain from abolishing slavery?
Political approval from abolitionists at home and abroad.

Pretty pathetic justification. Show your math that slavery was profitable.
I'm mentally moronic and can't do math to show slavery was profitable.

fricking over the rivals that had big income in slave exportation. Being able to shift towards other means of labour that don't require you to feed and clothes workers since slave rebellions were a risk.

abolition was simply a lever to destabilize the USA and other European powers' American possessions.
They wanted to weaken the power and influence of slave-trading African nations such as Dahomey and Ashanti so they would be easier to colonize
Spain did it first.
It was in their economic interests to weaken rival nations.
They still praticed slavery in India and some of their colonies.
They just wanted to end Atlantic slave trade for economic reasons.
Because Britain wanted to weaken France.
Massachusetts abolished slavery as early as the early 1780s.

A black eye in France's history is that they were the first great power to reintroduce slavery
Victorian morality

Excellent work jidf.
Whites are high individualism, high trust and high empathy. Anglos are sort of "super-whites", being the superior stock of the white race.
Except Americans, who are the lowest iq of all races. As can be seen by a quick browse of any IQfy board.
Weren't most of the American immigrants in the 19th-century German?
Germanic blood made them more empathetic.

>Slavery faded away with the spread of christianity
What?! It was predominantly Christian people who participated in slavery. Christianity was even used to justify slavery by several people.
