No, that the united States was built on the backs of slaves. Yes, the North used more than COTTON. And is George Washington in the room with you right now, because he's not mentioned in the meme, and the only reason you know he had slaves is because it's all over written history. How about you order Mercy Otis Warren's History of the Rise, Progress and Termination of the American Revolution and I won't order you to STFU if you do a book report. The original copyright is 1805, but you can buy modern paperback editions for about $30. Then you'll learn that about 10% of the Continental Army was made up of free black men. How about that. There's a lot more than that of course, the original was in 3 volumes and it's a highly regarded history of the US, written by a woman who was already a famous author and was in the middle of the whole thing. I'm betting $500 you can't read anyway.
