And BTW, there would have been no black slave trade without mohammedans. They ran the black slave trade.>> i know but we did buy them. there would be no black slave trade without buyers and this is a major problem with our particular compromise with evil. that wasn’t a compromise of politics. it was and still is a compromise with evil.
also the british did not legalize slavery in their country only in the colonies. they knew it was wrong but still chose to benefit as a third party beneficiary.
Part of it. The rest was run by black Africans themselves.
It WAS a compromise with evil. No one in the US alive today, nor their grandparents or even great grandparents, purchased or owned a slave, nor was a slave. Maybe some very elderly persons’ great grandparents might have.
But the guilt of slave ownership or purchase does not extend to grandchildren, nor the general population. My ancestors never owned slaves. I am not guilty, even if they did.
Why do you say it still is a compromise with evil? I don’t get that at all. I agree, the colonists should have picked their own cotton. But what’s done is done. Now everyone has to take responsibility for their OWN lives, their OWN choices. For blacks to cling to the bad old days of slavery as though it has any affect on them is lunacy.
