They were economically useful when they were farm equipment. Then we developed machines to replace them.
They were extremely inefficient as farm equipment. They required food, shelter, and monitoring all year long but most were required only for planting and harvesting. Their only three values over machinery that they could be made into "house servants", as collateral for loans (rather than going all in and "Betting the farm"), and that you could simply allow them to follow their nature and breed more.
They were inefficient, which is why as soon as machinery became available they were replaced. If our Confederate brothers had tractors available, they would have used them instead.
No, they would have fought against improved farming techniques. Tractors would have made slaves worthless and therefor useless as collateral for the loans which made the bankers wealthy.
If that were true, we wouldn't have developed machines. So in theory, they were useful because their uselessness forced us to innovate.
We are able to improve machines.
We can't improve them.
The only way niggers can be upgraded, is to get pregnant by a White man
Technology had to catch up with our dreams.
Machines started being developed for the purpose of increasing their efficiency. Remember the cotton gin? Sure the niggers were useless, but even a white man couldn’t pick seeds out as fast as that machine
They weren't though. They actually held back innovation because they were sorta doing the job so why change was the mindset.
