Speaking of, wasn’t it built by slaves? I imagine that they switch to carceral slavery after chattel slavery was outlawed rather than going with something as woke as voluntary labor 😛
Actually, while we’ll likely never know for certain, it’s quite debatable for the first phase, and we’re reasonably certain it wasn’t used for the second phase.
There’s no “yes” or “no” to this question; even the historians collectively don’t know. (Although if “built by slaves” is implying exclusively or near-exclusively, that’s definitively wrong.)
