Built on Blacks: How Slavery Made America Rich (Ep. 4)

In Episode 4, we reveal the uncomfortable truth about how Wall Street, state governments, and major financial institutions helped build America’s wealth — by profiting directly from slave labor.

From the plantations of the South to the merchant banks of the North, enslaved Black labor became the invisible force behind early American finance. Insurance companies underwrote slave ships. Banks issued loans backed by human lives. And governments across the colonies — North and South — taxed, protected, and expanded slavery for profit.

Slavery was not just a Southern system.
It was embedded in the very foundations of what we now call American history — a national economic empire built through slavery in the American colonies.

This episode exposes how the wealth of Wall Street, capital buildings, and even early public infrastructure was tied to slavery — and how that legacy still echoes through the economic divide today.
