Oh my God...
You do realize that slavery was ended by the West because of technology, right?
Like, what? No one invented sails because there were slaves to man the oars? The cotton gin had to be invented because the civil war freed the workers?
Open a book...
I believe he is saying that people didn't try to invent new tech because slavery existed to perform the work en masse so why fix what isn't broken so to speak.
This. One of the fundamental differences between states that adopted technology rapidly and those who didn't was population and population density. Low population, sparse nations adopt tech and run with it (England after the opening of the Dominion, America after the end of the Civil War, Japan, Germany) while high population, dense nations don't. Slavery tilts this equation by creating artificial abundance of workers.
