Culture While slavery brought profits in the short run discussion continues on the economic benefits of slavery in the long-run in 1995 a random anonymous survey of 178 members of the Economic History Association found that out of the 40 propositions about American economic history that were surveyed the propositions most disputed by economic historians and economists were those surrounding the postbellum economy of the American South the only exception was the proposition initially put forward by historian Gavin Wright that the "modern period of the South's economic convergence to the level of the North only began in earnest when the institutional foundations of the southern regional labor market were undermined largely by federal farm and labor legislation dating from the 1930s." 62 percent of economists (24 percent with and 38 percent without provisos) and 73 percent of historians (23 percent with and 50 percent without provisos) agreed with this statement. Wright has also argued that the private investment of monetary resources in the cotton industry among others delayed development in the South of commercial and industrial institutions There was little public investment in railroads or other infrastructure Wright argues that agricultural technology was far more developed in the South representing an economic advantage of the South over the North of the United States, The Americans had already burned much of the historic Washington Navy Yard founded by Thomas Jefferson to prevent capture of stores and ammunition as well as the 44-gun frigate USS Columbia and the 22 gun USS Argus both new vessels nearing completion the Navy Yard's Latrobe Gate Quarters A and Quarters B were the only buildings to escape destruction.
