ESSAY ON: Slavery and the Capitalistic Premise of the United States

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: A 5 page discussion of the importance of the institution of slavery to capitalism. In the U.S., however, the issues surrounding slavery lasted long past the time where the institution was becoming extinct in other regions of the world. This long life can be attributed to the relative age of the U.S. during the time when we most depended on slavery and the extent of the resources which we had at our disposal. Effective utilization of these resources demanded that we rely on the institution of slavery. The contention is presented that whites in both the north and the south recognized this dependence and even at the time preceding the civil war northern whites were largely in support of slavery as long as it didn’t expand past those regions in which it was already ingrained. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
