For many years slavery has been looked at as a horrible act that deprives the slaves of freedoms and dignity. This may be somewhat true, but from a strictly business point of view it is perfect. An easy way for any company not making their expected profits could be to switch to slave labor to reduce costs and in turn raise profits. Of course, this relies on a few key things; the slaves must put a good effort into the work and the work must allow as little responsibility as possible to the worker.
Without maximum effort from the slaves, the work will either not be done with the same quality or speed that is necessary to ensure the highest profits possible. There can be no lazy slaves. If there are there must be consequences to teach the other slaves that it is unacceptable. Even with effort the earnings will not always be what they should. Giving a slave responsibility and not watching them at all times will give them the ability to make decisions that could be detrimental to your business and income. For this reason you need to keep a non-slave watching over the slaves at all times, preferable a large group of them at once to limit the amount of real employees on the pay list.
Even with the cheap labor and ensuring quality effort from the slaves it does not always help to use slave labor. The most important part of slavery is picking a slave fit for the job. Since slaves are typical used for physically demanding jobs a strong person is needed, preferable male. Slavery in America is usually referring to the use of Africans so we will stay with them since they worked pretty well the first time around. This is where it gets tricky though. You can not use an Americanized African, they are incredibly lazy and while uneducated are somehow intelligent enough to resist working as a slave. Also, when angered they have tendencies to band together and riot. Since most African Americans own at least one gun if not multiple it is good to stay away from them. Any kind of attempt to use them for slavery will stop them from killing each other to start killing White America. Because of this, a true African will be needed and not just any African. One will be needed that can be enticed with food to do work otherwise it will be too hard to make them work. Since most Africans are starved this should not be too hard to find. However, you will not want a weak slave so you will need to find a somewhat strong one. The problem here is that in order to be strong they can not be starved as much and therefore less likely to continue to work for only smalls amounts of food. This is where the key to picking slaves lies, finding a real African who is a good mix of starved and strong.
So after adding the pros and cons for taking advantage of slave labor it is fairly even. It all comes down to the crop of slaves and type of work you are looking to accomplish. If you get premium quality slaves for some good ol’ manual labor, it is well worth it. Of course this is assuming you do not mind stripping humans of their freedom and dignity. But considering their Africans, no one should have a problem taking advantage of them.
