Pardon? Why should you guess that slavery is a more efficient economic model for the economy overall? In states like Virginia before the Civil War, increasing numbers of slaves were being sent to cities to hire themselves out, for a remittance to their masters, because there was not enough work on the farms. Many of them eventually bought their freedom. Only in the Deep South, where there were enormous cotton and tobacco crops, requiring a vast number of stoop laborers, were slaves particularly efficient.
