That's highly unlikely considering that jazz, Hip Hop and rap, and Afro-Caribbean musical styles were a direct response to slavery. These musical forms were an expression of freedom, which unlikely would have been created without the catalyst of slavery. To your point, I would argue that there would have been alternative forms of music that would have developed, but they would lack the cultural responsiveness and edginess of Black music today. Listen to Lupe Fiasco's "All Black Everything" if you haven't already. I like the alternate timeline where slavery never happened, and the Beastie Boys Eminem invented rap and then inspired Tupac Shakur. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

[@patriciawilliams5286]

We could have made the music in Africa, everyone gets the blues sometime. I've been to Africa, they are very spiritual. The music goes with us, like our style, the way we walk, the way we wear our hair. It's who we are, what we are made of, it's in our soul. It's not the place we live, it's the people we are.

That’s an excellent point, actually. Less workers could force people to invent ways around slow production. But I think that they’d need to suddenly lose a decent portion of the workforce, increasing the need for workers or something that could replace them Maybe once the native people died off enough in the Caribbean, then people would’ve innovated ways to keep production up

. The overt belief in a feudal system vs capitalist was fed by the availability of slaves. Without this free labor the South would have more open to the idea of making "dirty, common money"

[@bradleydelay]

Another thing I think is discounted is that the industrial revolution has a decent chance to actually spread into Africa. Europe and Africa in this alternative industrialization period would likely have similar politics, populations, and by some extent, resources. The only thing that would facilitate such a spread would be either reverse engineering of industrial tech by west Africans, or the Ottoman Caliphate also industrializing in turn, both of which have some credence in otl. For example, the Ashanti Empire were notoriously difficult to conquer for the British because they had large supplies of dutch weapons and ammo, and were evenly matched with English troops. The British only were able to conquer their lands once the repeating rifle was invented.

It's possible the Europeans would have recruited Indian and Chinese labourers to work the plantations, as happened after the end of slavery. Perhaps the cultures of Brazil and the Caribbean would have strong Southeast Asian influences instead of African ones. New Orleans might be known for its bhangra music scene, instead of jazz.

[@leiahdavis1908]

If you look at the Caribbean we actually have a strong Asian influence. Many persons are of East Indian descent--especially in Trinidad and Guyana. Popular dishes like Curry Chicken, Curry Goat, roti and callaloo are heavily drawn from Asia. Also, the use of ganja/marijuana for spiritual and medicinal purposes amongst a host of many other things. :)

If we're talking music? It should be stated that a lot of what we think of as African-American music (jazz, rnb, rock and roll, etc) took heavy influences from different European-American music styles as well as that of some indigenous American groups sometimes, and it might be that such styles would've developed anyways but with varying kinds of 'ethnic' slants. Maybe Ritchie Valens esque Latino rock (which does share a ton with classic Chuck Berry style rock n roll) would've been one of the defining cultural trends of the 50s and 60s, say, instead.

It might have been possible for natives to win just with numbers and better knowledge of the land (allowing them to use surprise attacks and traps.

Brittany Wilkins I see what you are saying but I would have to strongly disagree with your assessment.

Maybe the slav's or the natives but one thing I can say for sure is that wherever there's a potential for profit, every route to it will be explored. The worst thing would be that if African slavery Never existed Africa wouldn't have any export and would have possibly used up all natural resources and starvation would run rampant.

It is fascinating and people should learn more about our history. Learn how legally and politically those in power sought to get the public to be ok with permanent slavery for certain peoples.

[@TheCSJones]

The USA as we know it wouldn't exist at all. No sugar money = no reason to keep making so many voyages to the new world. Even if the pilgrims came, there might not have been a revolutionary war. Also, no cotton and plantations = several of the southern colonies that became states are probably never set up. Etc.

[@proceonproceon6233]

Not to.mention the black women in Nasa that helped the American space race hidden figures and no George Washington Carver .no many inventions to look then up for yourself

[@izaiahthomas1939]

@marios gianopoulos Not true. Without black people to invent, innovate, and experiment on much of the technology and medicine we have today wouldn't have been created. You need capital, time, and resources to conduct proper R&D and without someone else creating all that for you innovation like how we've seen in the past century would be impossible. Just look at the dark ages.

I think industrialization would of happens earlier since there isn't a huge cheap labor force to be exploited, thus forcing the rich to innovate to cut cost

[@nnelg8139]

Finally someone raising a reasonable counterpoint not related to race.

[@Adventurerblitz]

It would only help the south. The north never used a huge cheap labor force, and slaves are incapable of working factories. You would however have a much more robust economy with professional and farmer class southerners etrenched into the economy.

[@andrewthejew6007]

oh yeah I don't think the industrial revolution would of looked the same if slavery never existed, I'm talking about maybe mechanical farm equipment being developed earlier since labor cost are much higher. I agree that textiles wouldn't be the focus of this timeline's industrial revolution
