What southern landowner did not have slaves in the 1700s? Plantations could never have developed without that type of labor. it was used as well at that time THROUGHOUT most parts of the world - including Africans themselves enslaving their fellow countrymen. Carribean sugar plantations were another magnet for slave ships. It's part of world history than any civilized person would rather change, if possible, but the USA was by no means the only country using slave labor centuries ago.
