Johannes,
This is my last post to you on this subject.

You are wrong. Without the economic need for slavery, it would have never existed. Yes, that's right, the economic condition had everything to do with it. All slavery is wrong where ever it has existed, but the morality of the subject is a side issue. Slavery was not established just to enslave blacks. The need for cheap labor was the primary factor that created slavery.
