Would we still use slaves if technology never went further ahead?

@Keraunos i see :)

@popmol He's being sarcastic

@Nomad7 I am definitely not.

@Keraunos Yeah, right

@Nomad7 Not sure if you're just having some laughs by baiting or seriously think that, but I meant precisely what I said in my original comment.

@Keraunos It was coincidental, not causal

@Nomad7 I'm not really saying that industrialization [i]caused[/i] abolition. I am saying that it is impossible that abolition could have happened without industrialization. Rather like how photosynthetic plants did not create humans, but humans also could not conceivably have evolved in their absence.
