What if Slavery didn't happen?

[SUJagFan]

If slavery hadn't happened, would there even be "African Americans"?

What makes any of you think our African ancestors would have come here willingly in those numbers?

It seems to me that you're asking how we would be faring in Africa. In a world whose economy, politics and a whole lot of other things would be entirely different.

Good information. I've always known that slavery made a lot of people in the south wealthy. We are so far behind the eight-ball in obtaining wealth.

A lot of things that we see today (in terms of innovations), probably wouldn't exist as they do today. A lot of probably wouldn't be Christians. Some form of polygamy would exist (although it's slowly dwindling now).

Who knows?
