So I've been playing as USA, and I've just got up to the civil war event, and I'm trying to decide which side I should take. Since the main difference between the two are whether or not slavery is supported, it got me wondering what sort of effects slavery actually has on the country. Obviously if people become more liberal they might start militant abolitionist movements and such, but I mean economically. Do slave pops function any differently to farmers/laborous in RGO's? Do they make the RGO's more profitable? Also, can slaves vote along with the rest of the poor strata with universal voting enabled?
