This is true. If you look at some of the South's most wealthy families you'll see that on down the line they owned slaves. And if you look back far enough, you'll note that many corporations profited from the slaves. Maybe not directly all the time, but they still profited whether directly or indirectly.
But then again a lot of this country's wealth is also a result of World War II and us lending money to France and England. War, in itself, made this country wealthy.
