It built the modern talking points for Democrats

The entire country would look like the deep south if that were the case.

You're a fricking idiot and dare I say a racist yourself. If you really want to parse words, slavery was part of our country's history and therefore you can't deny that it helped build this country. I don't think anyone truly asserts that it was the sole thing that built this country.

Everything slavery built was burned down in the Civil War.

Read "built this" and immediately heard this:

We Built This....

It is my acquired knowledge that the railroads were built by the chinese americans, who were required to work twice as hard as any other ethnicity. We still use the term "Chinese sweat shop" with derision, dismissing the hard work that these people do.

Slavery actually held back the US. The only people it helped were the slave owners, it was horrible for everyone else.

When labor was free, there was no incentive to innovate. The Industrial Revolution started in England after their abolition of slavery, largely because without slavery it was incredibly expensive to make anything. So the Brits had to innovate.

US GDP didn't really take off until 1870, not a coincidence.
