      She's changing subjects rapidly because she doesn't have a coherent point.
      Whenever she runs into a logical dead end she goes back in time.

    Slavery did not make the South rich. It made some southerners and some northerners rich.
    Innovation is what made the south prosperous.

      Slaves were used almost exclusively in agriculture, not manufacturing. So no. Slaves did not build America. Any wealth southerners may have built on the back of slavery was completely erased by the civil war. Whole plantations were burned to the ground.
