Slaves were never “smuggled” into America from Africa. They were sold by Africans and brought to America.
Oh, no! I thought we weren’t supposed to ever mention anything about slavery or even words related to slavery! Unless of course you wanna start talking reparations...
The total number of slaves brought to the United States was about 400,000. The total number brought to Brazil was nearly ten million. Other South American countries took less, but still far more than America.
Did they discover that the slaves had heartbeats ???
Or were those slaves not considered “persons” .... ??
Almost ALL the major ships were owned by a shrewd type of person always alleging they never had anything to do with slavery. And who wants you to constantly commemorate stuff you didn’t do, and which you in fact stopped.
Being a monument of the slave trade of the South, it must be destroyed! We can have no evidence of any of that. Oh, wait ... that only goes for confederate stuff. Sorry.
This is really fascinating to me. I can’t wait to see the photos.
I see a multimillion dollar monument in alabama’s future. Taxpayer funded, of course. Maybe a resort and a casino.....
The last slave ship? Good. Now everyone can STFU about it.
They shouldn’t raise it unless they allow the confederate monuments to continue to be displayed as well. Goose, gander, good, etc.
Inquiring minds want to know:
Who kidnapped those humans
Who sold those humans
Those questions are never asked by the urinalists.
Now, with the current flooding of Europe and USA with poor people, did the Slave Merchants convince some folks to get on a ship using lies of a better life somewhere else??
Are todays coyotes, smuggleing folks in beat up trucks, or marching folks through a desert carrying backpacks full of drugs, different from the Slave Merchants???
So now everybody named Clotilda is considered a racist.
For those who missed it, here is a thread citing the story of Cudjo, who was transported on Clotilda’s voyage to Mobile.

Be sure to also check the link in the posts to a “vulture” website that has the complete narrative. Fascinating.
I wonder what the descendants of the smuggled contraband would think if the were returned to their homelands?
