Slaves certainly did some of the hardest work.

Not sure I would characterise the US economy quite that way though.

Lots of people contributed their bit. Free people and slaves. But slaves didn't receive the benefits of their contributions. Any excess value they produced became the property of their owners.

I don't know what proportion of the US economy slavery enabled. But US also had a huge number of immigrants who also added a lot. And the existing population of Americans has never sat on its hands.

These freaking people have no shame.
Much of this country was built on the backs of slaves.

White Supremacists March Unhindered in Front of Philadelphia City Hall

Local residents jeered a group of men marching in front of the Philadelphia City Hall late Saturday wearing white face coverings and the insignia for the white supremacist group Patriot Front. Local media reported that there were dozens of the men, all wearing khaki pants, blue shirts, tan hats, and white face coverings. Some were waving flags or carrying shields. Some residents scuffled with the men as they tried to chase them away, and a journalist had his cellphone snatched as he took photos. The Texas-based Patriot Front group is described by the Anti-Defamation League as “a white supremacist group whose members maintain that their ancestors conquered America and bequeathed it solely to them.” Police were not seen intervening and no arrests were reported.
