- maire 4y agoI don't think the relation between slavery and industrialization is as simple as you think. Industrial cotton mills and the invention of the cotton gin produced more slavery in the US. I am not sure about elsewhere.

- SoftTalker 4y agoI always thought of it as the other way around. Industrial and agricultural machinery was ultimately cheaper than owning slaves to do the same work. The industrial revolution happened, and slaves were no longer economical. The same goes for draft animals, too.
