I was reading somewhere about how slavery affected the American economy. It had numbers, and figures, and basically stated that it was because of slavery that the American economy grew to be what it is today. It also had a nice breakdown of reparations owed due to the money being generated by slavery. Does anyone have any links or resources about this?

just focusing on cotton
it's cued to the 14:45 mark which talks about plantation economy in America pre and post cotton gin




for those interested, 11:45 mark discusses cotton's role in colonization of India
