[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3521117, member: 24302"] At the time cotton farming was extremely labor intensive. Paying wages would've made it not feasible due to the size of the workforce needed. It was the invention of the cotton gin and other machinery that got the ball rolling towards abolition. Not talking about the rightness or wrongness. Of course it was wrong. By the way people often talk about how Europe abolished slavery long before the U.S. did. Who do you think was buying all that cotton for their mills? Particularly in England. [/QUOTE]
