starkey he does research about race in the south at the university of north carolina at chapel hill very clearly there are some roots of american economic wealth that definitely originated on the plantation and through the institution of slavery but also slavery was actually really innovative to the american capitalist system in terms of developing financial networks in terms of accounting practices scientific marriage meant to increase worker productivity a lot of those things are rooted in the system of incitement. back at the farm fred burgess torn about the issue i wish it had never happened. i think a lot of fight would been much better everywhere had that not happened but never on the sly and none of the black people who live around here now were ever a slight i may have had an abscess toure's. that were why but that's 150 years in the past. no matter how far in the past the traces of enslavement will
