The American colonization really innovated slavery though with chattel slavery.
Your comment is as braindead as saying “well there’s always been people, I don’t see the issue”

>In the fifteenth century, Portugal became the first European nation to take significant part in African slave trading. In 1580, the Spanish broke up the Portuguese slave trade monopoly by offering direct slave trading contracts to other European merchants. Known as the asiento system, the Dutch took advantage of these contracts to compete with the Portuguese and Spanish for direct access to African slave trading, and the British and French eventually followed. By the eighteenth century, when the trans-Atlantic slave trade reached its trafficking peak, the British (followed by the French and Portuguese) had become the largest carriers of enslaved Africans across the Atlantic. The overwhelming majority of enslaved Africans went to plantations in Brazil and the Caribbean, and a smaller percentage went to North America and other parts of South and Central America.

Uhhh the historical South wasn't really a huge fan of the North, either.

The historical South was still fresh from a good old-fashioned stomp-n-burn. They probably still jumped at the name Sherman until the 50s.

Anyone who knows anything knows that the Democratic Party basically did a political 180 over the middle of the 20th century and that's why the majority of the South now votes Republican

Conjecture, only 1 Dixiecrat ever jumped ship to the Republican Party, Strom Thurmond.

Yes, then every Southern voter followed suit.
