Different sources make it even more clear that slavery was mostly a catholic thing, but this was good enough.
I thought most conservatives knew where the millions and millions of slaves were going.

And people who aren’t stupid realize that most of the New World was a Catholic thing. What also is obvious - to those who aren’t stupid - is that Protestants were disproportionately involved in slavery. For such a small number of people to possess 1/3 of the slaves transported across the Atlantic, and to be the people most responsible for transporting those slaves for almost two centuries, is truly shocking.

Apparently you didn’t know that Protestants were disproportionately involved in slavery.

Catholic-hating protestants in New England sold 99% of their slaves to Catholic-hating protestants in the Southern States. That’s where they were going. I am a Southerner and for every Catholic Church in town we had 50 baptist churches. And it’s still that way. This country was founded by protestants, very Catholic-despising protestants. The only reason Catholics made it in America is because they took care of each other. The vast majority of Catholics are from Ireland, and when they came over they were treated exactly like dogs and slaves, in that order.
