“Just remember the flag flown on the slave ships was not the CSA battle flag is was the Stars and Strips.”

Actually, slaves were brought to North America under a number of different flags.

I wonder what percentage were actually ferried to NA (after enslavement by Arabs and other Africans) on US-flag ships.

I remember researching this once upon a time. The Brits were the big dealers and slave importation on American flagged ships was like 8-10%.
