During the Reconstruction, how did the loss of such a vast free labor source such as slavery immediately affect the countrys productivity?

Brian, my family heritage begins in Israel also but I am not looking for racial sympathy--but basic economic information about a time in American history when slavery was a lucrative instrument before and after the Civil War era--didn't mean to offend you brother...

as a native I'de like to say, at least blacks where valued enough to be kept as property we were just raped and killed.
every race has been enslaved the word slave comes from the word slavic the vikings sold so many slavic paople their name became synonimus with slavery, they were white people as were the irish the scotts celts and jews.

race???
how about women, blacks [in Africa] , American Indians
the chinese over and under the japanese , all meso americans, irish, scots and welsh, Indian "untouchables", the peasantry under feudal lords......
personal, national, racial, economic, gender freedoms are a very recent thing in the history of man.....
at any one time or another
in one part of the world or another
most/many "races"/"nationalities" have been property to some other group....
so... the answer to the first question is obviously
there is and was no distinction; there were plenty of other groups
economic growth question???
"at that time"????
it didn't affect it at all
the Emancipation Proclamation was given before the end of the war....so....obviously, it didn't affect any southern black;
since the blacks in the north were already free, it didn't affect them either...
additionally, there were a goodly number of escaped blacks -following the "underground railroad"-in Canada...Chatam, Ontario was the northernmost end of the route....so it didn't affect those blacks either...
direct affect of the "Emancipation Proclamation" at that time???
none

Maybe I'm somewhat biased, but the Jews have been the most persecuted race in the world's history (more than even the Blacks). The Jews have had to fight for their mere survival ever since they came into existence. All the nations are against them (except the U S and similar countries). Instead of everyone playing the violin for your race, maybe they should play it for my race.

In Thailand & Cambodia parents in extreme poverty sometimes sell one or more of their children into sex slavery. The children become the property of the new owners.

The Irish, Italians, Chinese, child labor in the coal mines, I'm sure there are lots of them.

The only possible exception I can think of would be the native Australians. All the others have.

White, hispanic, and asian prostitutes. Many the "property" of black pimps. How bout that? A black pimp on the Springer show was referring to some white hooker as his "property" or his money.

Who sold the black slave to the slave traders?
Ans: Other black people.
Every race and gender have been slaves, as a matter of fact we're all slaves to the media.
