Later turning points that leaned on the Atlantic slave trade scales up. Change it in the game and the ripples reach all of these.

1. 1780The Industrial Revolution. Without it, Growth stays flat and Malthusian; most people alive in 1900 live about as their great-grandparents did.
2. 1791The Haitian Revolution. Without it, No state is founded by the formerly enslaved; abolition loses its sharpest argument for decades.
3. 1861The American Civil War. Without it, The Union splits for good; there is no single continental United States to become the next century's dominant power.
