Let's remember that it was yankees who ran the transatlantic slave trade after 1836 and continued to do so until the 1880's. Let's remember that the biggest port of entry for African-American ancestors is Newport, RI. Let's remember that it was New York bankers who financed the domestic as well as international slave trade. And let's remember that it was Yankee insurance firms who insured all of this valuable property. And let's not forget that without the Southern slave owners snapping up every slave they could get their hands on then none of those ships would have left Newport, none of those bankers would have made the loan, and no insurance would have been written.

Actually, the slave trade in and to the United States was banned in the early 1800s. The Northern slavers continued to ply their trade and sell their sad cargo to willing buyers in South America.
