What was the role of slavery in the rise and fall of the American Nation?

If you mean the United States, I don't think it's fallen yet.

Do you mean native American tribes?
I just know that somehow slavery of africans were somehow part of the rise and fall but i don't understand what that means
The only possible meaning of "fall" could be the Civil War. Look at the causes of the Civil War.

what about the rise
Slavery enabled the South to produce a lot of cotton inexpensively.
