Read a little history, any land American indians had they had because they killed or ran off the poor bastards who were there before them. (Other American indians). The only right they had on their side was might. When they committed genocide they didn't give the unlettered savages they ran off the land a reservation and a gambling monopoly.
Slavery is a good way to impoverish you society. It's not only the cause of the civil war, but also the reason the south lost it. They couldn't compete with the north economically because they saddled themselves with such an inefficient economic system.
America is wealthy because of the values of most of it's people. And your economic position in America is a direct result of your values and your parents values. Value education ? Don't do drugs ? Get married before having a child ? Take care of your children when you do have them ? The poor parts of the world don't do these things well. The wealthy parts of the world do.
As for America's wealth being built off of the labor of slaves ? The poorest parts of America are those that had the most invested in slavery. (Mississippi, Alabama and the rest of the deep south.) Get a clue. Read a boot for Christ's sake.
