Making money from slavery is corruption, not capitalism. But if it were capitalism the democrats made the most profits in the USA.
ZigZag...try to be more intellectually honest. Do some research next time and report the WHOLE story or be known as a liar by way of omission.
"The poor treatment of slaves was so widespread it came to be regarded as natural. One needed to break the slaves' will as an individual in order to have a compliant servant who would meet the expectations of a slave in Roman society. Free labor meant greater leisure and profit for those who owned slaves but those slaves were only profitable if they were submissive and did as they were told without question or hesitation. The fact that the slave population was so great is testament to the Roman ability to maintain this kind of control over those they enslaved."

NOT having Slaves. That's a New Idea.
