Gladly. The US was a piss hole filled with economic distress that almost turned settlers away. The country was on the brink of collapse until Eli Whitney created the cotton gin. Because the settlers were lazy ass mother****ers they needed labor. Native Americans were dying at increasing rates due to the diseases the filthy Europeans brought over. Africans to the rescue. They were strong, capable, and sold off. Due to the Africans efforts, the country was able to bounce on its feet economically, exporting cotton and tobacco. Without the Africans, America would have collapsed thus sending settlers back to Europe and preventing new settlers from coming, and the native americans would have been left alone, even though a huge number were dying and/or dead. They are resilient people though, they would have bounced back.
Also lets not even get into how the Native Americans HELPED the Europeans survived. Columbus and his "achievements" are cute and all but they would have resulted into nothing had it not been for very important groups of people. Some in this thread are implying that, they are wrong.
