frankly, i'm surprised that you're willing to post to him, given his history of NOT caring that he is offensive to the ladies/children/religious people on these threads. he seems to regard the FR forum as the wall of a public toilet, upon which he feels free to scribble his filth, bigotry & nonsense. furthermore; he seems to know LITTLE about the WBTS period or anything else for that matter; instead, he is just an ignorant, loudmouthed, uncouth LOUT.
as for slave exportation, a few comments:
1. exportation was NOT ever prohibited by the USA,
2. "fresh meat from Africa" was cheaper, but NON-English speaking/untrained &
3. slaves who knew skilled trades, "house slaves" & comely young women/men were always in great demand wherever slavery remained lawful. (common laborers remained cheap in/out of the USA.)
fwiw, you HAVE to go to the library & "do some digging" to find this sort of information (you will NOT find this sort of information on the "worldwideweird" YET! = in 2-5 years, the Univ of Chicago will have their entire collection on the web. SIU is contemplating doing the same, as is Auburn.), as the DAMNyankee elitists (then/now) do NOT want their perfidy/LIES/misdeeds/hypocrisy uncovered/exposed to public view.

I’m unclear why English-speaking would be a sales advantage when all English-speaking Caribbean and Latin American islands and countries had banned slavery decades before the US did.
I believe only Dutch and Spanish countries, and few of those, still had slavery in the 1860s.
I post to whomever I please. The gentleman or lady you reference has not used foul language to me, so I see no particular reason why I should restrict my associations at your convenience.
