So the slave trade to the American south was just a bit more than 8% of the total slave trade to the New World, but we - apparently - are to blame for 100% of it.
There were plenty of slaves in the North, too.
You just don’t hear that much about them because it messes up the narrative.
Sad isn’t it. And people often forget that the slaves in the Caribbean were treated much much worse than those in America. The Caribbean slaves’ life expectancies were often only about 10 years or so.
More like barely over 3%, and as someone else mentioned, not just to the South.
NYC and Boston were big slave ports.
