Hmmm, I’m not so sure, I mean we needed the huge amounts of illegal slaves to do all sorts of manual labour jobs in factories and picking cotton and oakum for entire industries thats huge complexity and prolific activity required too many people doing the most basic and labour intensive jobs that would be impossible to maintain with too few staff and only middle or upper class educated people running them doing little physical labour and all the mental work that comes in running a profitable business. No, working class labourers we’re always needed for the metal food and textiles and clothing industry and would do whatever they could for pretty bad wages only enough to really eta okay and keep warm, which is good but it wasn’t a hugely exciting life. I mean these people were damn hard working and pushed to their absolute limits in the 19th to early 20th century before welfare laws and experienced harsh working conditions and often punishing or bullying bosses through corporal punishment that would cause theme severe pain if they couldn’t keep up with production demands. But despite all this they still did what they could to support the families they had and tried to make the most satisfying life they could, some even educating themselves through self teaching and even rising through the ranks to wealth id they were lucky enough. Yep, we owe a huge amount to slaves and labourers from the 18th through to the mud 20th century, they’re agony helped increase production for clothes food research development into new medicine technology and cultural change, and without their sacrifices we honestly would be in a far more brutal and less advanced backwards world than we already are.
