Oh, you're talking about the Yankee slave traders now? yeah, they made lots of $$$$$$ on that business. They would make lots of rum and then trade the rum for slaves in Africa. The New England colonies threw a fit when Britain wanted to tax the rum industry. They said it would ruin the area's economy.
Btw, did you know that of all the slaves the Yankee slave traders made $$$$ from selling, only 6% ended up in the South? (The south was never a really good market for slaves) The rest went to markets with more demand, such as the carribean and south america, and most died there from the cruelty inflcted on them. In contrast, Blacks in the South were treated much better. More blacks die every year from black-on-black crime than ever died from lychings, beatings, and etc. during all the years of slavery in the South.
Yeah. It was the Yankee slave traders who sold the slaves to the Southerners, Who made it a states’ rights issue to hold on to enslaving human beings. And oh, yes. Let’s go to relativism. Our slaves were treated much better than your slaves. You may not be stupid, but that argument is about one of the slimey-ist that exists on the planet. There should not have been slavery at all.
