Thinking about how obvious it is that the US is built on slavery, but I haven’t considered how the colonies’ independence from Britain is also innately intertwined with the economics of slavery. Britain was making BANK off of sugar produced by slave colonies and the slave trade as a whole, so the loss of exports from the colonies was basically inconsequential. They literally could give up.
