What would the US be like today had slavery never existed?

I think about this from time to time.

Jackson, MS would be a nice city

probably would have entered the industrial age a lot sooner. not as much reason to innovate if somebody else is doing all the hard labor for you.

Way further ahead and way more peaceful. Eventually migration would have happened, but it would have been way later.

Better question is how would the descendants of the slaves be doing these days?
It should be mentioned, whether they were sold to American slaveowners or not, they still most certainly would have been slaves for someone. My understanding is the Arabs weren’t the friendliest of slaveowners. Neither were their African captors.
When the Europeans stopped taking slaves, the Africans kingdoms didnt know what to do with their slaves in their reserve as they didn’t have any use for thm. So they just sacrificed them all to their kings and gods.

Our country would have a lot less of a groove.

Pretty much the same.
They would just find another excuse that didn’t affect them.

St Patrick was purported to have been a slave.
Plenty of white Europeans were slaves in the Roman Empire.
tl/dr:Focus your question to expose your true motive.

Dude didn't even drink his coffee yet before he decided to pine his dissatisfaction with life.

Yep. Blacks would be descendants of African immigrants instead of slaves. It would be a completely different population.

I guess they just would’ve had more Irish slaves that are not considered slaves

5' 10" 155 lb white dudes would still be kicking arse in the NFL.

Every culture has a self distrust button. I think liberal women and figs would have got us here eventually
