Would it be so far fetched for slave states to put their free labor towards massive public works projects, if indeed slavery was destined to fail? Or into any other thing you could dream of if paying for labor wasn't an issue. Even the implicit costs of that labor such as housing and food would have been cheaper than paying workers wages.
