If there had been no slaves in America, there would be no America because when Europeans wanted to build the country they did not have the labor force to do it and went to the continent of Africa to exploit them and enslave them to build America for them and their profit.
That is utter nonsense.
Slaves were not introduced into America until the practice became profitable for Arab, Dutch, and Portuguese slave traders who purchased them from Black African tribesmen to deliver and re-sell them in America where eventually they were employed mainly on Southern plantations. The Northern, Western, and Eastern sectors of developing America did not utilize slave labor to any significant degree. No European/Americans ever "went to the continent of Africa" to acquire slaves. The slaves were brought here and sold at auction -- during a time when slavery was an acceptable and rather common practice in most of the developed and developing world and it bore no substantial stigma. It should be noted that Africa was the birthplace of slavery, where the practice continues to this day.

America would have grown economically without slaves. Perhaps not as quickly, but the absence of slave labor would not have annulled its economic viability and massive potential.
Please continue to introduce us to your disneyland version of slavery...lol.
First...your ignorance of the various forms of slavery is ultimately what makes your post so stupid.
In Africa enslaved people were only enslaved for a given period of time.
After that time they were considered members of that tribe with full rights and citizenship to that tribe.
Slavery in Africa
Slavery existed in Africa, but it was not the same type of slavery that the Europeans introduced. The European form was called chattel slavery. A chattel slave is a piece of property, with no rights. Slavery within Africa was different. A slave might be enslaved in order to pay off a debt or pay for a crime. Slaves in Africa lost the protection of their family and their place in society through enslavement. But eventually they or their children might become part of their master’s family and become free. This was unlike chattel slavery, in which enslaved Africans were slaves for life, as were their children and grandchildren.
The treatment of slaves in Africa varied widely. Ottobah Cuguano, a former slave, remembered slaves as being ‘well fed … and treated well’. Olaudah Equiano, another former slave who wrote an account of his life, noted that slaves might even own slaves themselves. In larger states some slaves worked in government administration, and might become an important state or royal official with wide ranging powers.

The overwhelming majority of chattel slavery was practiced by whites in the Americas and Europe.
1: African Slaves could never gain freedom, they were slaves for life.
2: African Slave's children were born as automatic, lifelong slaves.
3: African Slaves were routinely subjected to rape, torture, mutilation and torture.
4: African Slaves had no rights of person hood.
5: African Slaves could not vote, own property or testify against whites for crimes.
6:African Slaves could not learn to read or write.
There were many other restrictions on African chattel slavery that was never practiced against indentured white servants.
Africans sold African slaves to white believing that their tribal form of slavery would become the existence of those sold slaves. Africans had no idea of the concept of white chattel slavery and were ignorant of their part in the treatment of slaves imported to the Americas and Britain.
