#1 Per Quote II, Long term I would think the Chinese building the transnational railroads had a bigger long term economic impact on America than the actual slaves working in the fields ever did.

In fact it could be said that dependence upon slavery kept the south from industrializing as the North did and sealed their fate.

#2 kept the south from industrializing as the North did
After the Civil War ended, some well meaning capitalists from the north did go south, bought up some property & tried to start businesses. This was very poorly received by sore southern losers. The would-be businessmen often came to very bad ends, along with their employees, some of whom were black. The South continued to dig its own grave even when they could have done better.
