I once heard a figure that only about 5% of slaves taken out of Africa wound up in the U. S.
Where are the people harmed in the nations the other 95% of the slaves went to?
The simple answer is, we cater to the whiners in our nation.
I’m not here to diminish slavery, and nobody else is either.
At some point, we’ve got to move beyond this. It’s nonsense at this point.
Anything owed was paid by the terrible price in blood and treasure in the Civil War.
You are right. In numbers, only 400,000 African slaves were brought to what became the United States. The vast majority of African slaves were actually brought to the Caribbean and to South America, with Brazil getting more than any other country.
Excellant post!
You have to remember, there were thousands of black slave owners. More than 3,000 in New Orleans alone. There were even black slave breeders - something whites wouldn’t do. They sold their own children into slavery.
