    For much of the 21st century it was believed that slavery caused the economy of the Antebellum South to stagnate. Many historians took issue with the profitability of slavery and thought that its demise was inevitable, regardless of the Civil War. Some even consider the Antebellum South’s economy to be backwards in the sense that slave labour rates were so competitive that it resulted in the wages of other free workers to drop below the subsistence level (Conrad & Meyer 1971, 341). This created a deficit of skilled white labourers in the market and prevented a sustainable perfectly competitive labour market. In addition to this, slavery was criticized as being preventative to long-term economic growth.…
