And never forget that it was mainly blacks who captured them sold them into slavery.

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.

Only about 5% of slaves came to the U.S.

I need some clarification. This is claiming that a half million slaves were brought to the US. But if you look at the census records from 1860 there were almost 4 million slaves in the US. So were 3.5 million slaves born in the US between 1650 and 1860?

A friend asked me about, and I still can’t even see it, the animation showing a ship leaving California and headed west. Did you notice this? Any info on this?
