If it wasn’t for African slave-raiding and muslim slave-trading in Africa, there would have been no slavery in the New World.
The great majority of New World slaves toiled in the Caribbean and in South America. Slavery in what become the U.S. was small in comparison.
Muslims created the “markets” for capture and transport of African slaves for many centuries before Europeans ever got there. Local and regional African tribes did the killing, capture, and enslavement of their neighbors. European slave trading, when it finally developed, tapped into centuries old traditions of barbaric enslavement.
That doesn’t absolve anyone who was involved in slavery, but it is ludicrous for leftards to pretend that slavery was only about white Europeans or later Americans...
