“Many blacks were born in Mexico and followed their parents into slavery.”
Ok so how do you define “many”?
Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador have very sizeable black populations. Brazil’s black population outnumbers America’s actually.
But Mexico? I lived there for 10 years and the only black I ever saw was a member of the Harlem Globetrotters traveling team.
You’re going to need to pull a rabbit out of your hat to back up your claim that “Mexico probably enslaved more Africans than any other colony in the Western Hemisphere”.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
They just worked them until they collapsed. If you read the histories of many Spanish slave colonies they did work many of their slaves to death. They did not let them marry and produce children, it was just cheaper just to work them until they dropped and then buy another one off of a ship. Anglo-Saxon culture is, to put it bluntly, just more humane than that of Spain’s.
