I'll agree with that... but then again... that's the big reason the West stopped using the system of slavery, because they modernized slavery and so the black people weren't working in the fields anymore, they were working in the cities, in the industry; and the old system of slavery doesn't work in the city. But still, their apartment was owned by the white man, and all their money was spent at the white man's businesses. So it was just an updated version of slavery, with some obvious advantages.
Think about it, how come the North didn't mind fighting the South over the issue of slavery? Is it because the Northern white man was that much more humane than the Southern white man? Ofcourse not. It's because the North had industry while the South was farming. Blacks could work for the industry in the North and slavery didn't need to be applied in the same manner there.

The "RISE" of the West had nothing to do with the slave trade. Slaves were used for labor after the rise, but had nothing to do with the West actually beginning to surpass the rest of the world.

Then please tell me about the "actual" beggining because it seems all the authors at Barnes and Noble must have missed what you know about. So again, I ask you to explain.
