¶ … participation by the local Creek Indians in the Indian slave trade.
The Creek Indians exploited their own race by selling war captives and their families into slavery and they even began attacking neighboring tribes specifically to capture and sell slaves. This is interesting because many people typically think of slavery as a racial issue in which the slave owner justifies the practice by invoking the notion that there is one race that is vastly superior to another. Certainly, this is the case we are most familiar with in the history of America and its black slave trade. However, the collusion of the local Creek Indians with the white settlers of the Carolina economy show the slavery issue to be more about exploitation of the weak for economic gain than racism.
The Creek Indians had a fear of becoming slaves themselves showing that they were well aware of what a horrible life that could be. but, that fate, as far as the Creek Indians were concerned, was good enough for those tribes who were unlucky enough to be weaker than the Creek Indians. and, the Creek Indians were even willing to collude with the white settlers even though the Creek Indians knew that the settlers could easily add the Creeks to their growing list of slavery victims.
Although one might argue that the selling of slaves by the Creek Indians was motivated by revenge or the need for protection from their rivals rather than material gain, the slavery surely was not related to racism. If the Creek Indians had simply wanted revenge or protection they could have slaughtered their victims instead of enslaving them. Therefore, economic gain appears to be the driving factor.
Perhaps slave owners use race to justify slavery, but that's not why they do it. The ability to gain economic prosperity at the expense of the weak is the real reason for slavery as the Creek Indians so aptly illustrate with the capture and sell of their own race.

It has nothing to do with having charisma or other exotic personality traits. It's not leadership necessarily better than management or a replacement for it: rather leadership and management are two distinctive and complementary activities. Both are necessary for success..."
