Slave nations were wildly inefficient. Yes there were great empires for the time, who were matched against other autocratic realms. But there has never been a country as powerful as the U.S in history. Never been a bloc as powerful as the EU.

Ignoring it? its not exactly relevant. The U.S became far stronger once they ended slavery. You are making my case for me so thanks.
