Interesting. Would you say the South was an important market for the industrialized North?

Would you like to guess whether businessmen in the North invested in the slave trade and grew rich thanks to it?

And what do you make of the fact that the North abolished slavery only after decades of using slaves, making it plausible that they never could have succeeded as colonies without slaves in the first place?
