I'm no expert, but I can tell you that Glasgow was built in large part from the proceeds from slave tobacco.

Does anyone know how much the money made from slavery contributed to the Industrial Revolution that both Europe and the U.S benefited from?

At one time in point locally a few coastline cities did benefit somehow from it to build some public buildings. However keeping the triangular trade was very costly too. Nevertheless it didn't develop Europe. The industrial revolution did.
