      1/ As 2019 is the 400th anniversary of the first importation of African slaves to the US, it's important to ponder the counterfactual of what would America be like today if we hadn't done so?

      2/ First, our population would be perhaps 10% smaller - around 300 million Americans instead of 330 million.

          3/ With 10% of our population (30 million African Americans) missing from our shores, our murder rate would be 50% lower. Instead of 160,000 people being murdered per year, it'd be closer to 80,000, catapulting us into the top ranks of safe societies.

          4/ Likewise, there would be 60,000 fewer violent rapes.

          5/ There'd be a 50% decline in aggravated assault, meaning 372,000 fewer people per year sent to hospitals after being attacked.

          6/ Even though the population would only be 10% smaller, the prison population would be 40% smaller, saving us $35 billion per year.

          7/ Aww, heck, I can't continue this thread. A calm recital of documented statistics just brings one too close to full on thought crime. Anyway, the NYT really #MadeMeThink with their #1619Project ; envisioning a better world where slavery never happened on American soil.

          8/ I have this recurring dream: I live in a small Italian villa, all limestone, marble, red clay roof, balustrades, and planters. ...except it's wrapped around the surface of a small (~1 acre surface area) asteroid with a small blackhole or something in the center to provide 1g.

          I wonder how the South would have developed without (African) slavery. Would they have enslaved Natives and Europeans instead, or would slavery have been avoided entirely? Would there still have been the War Between The States? How would the pattern of land ownership change?

          12/ ...but, to return to a pessimistic note, that'd just mean that they could afford triple wide trailers instead of double wides, and could snort even more oxy.

          Could be, unless we assume CW never happened, then 620k x 3 or 4 generations. As a bonus, no unconstitutional precedents that derived from that.
