Yep. And at least one of them is in my family tree. But his story had a (mostly) happy ending.

White Americans were slaves there too. After their release they returned to America and they have thousands of living descendants in America right now.

If white Americans were sold as slaves to Africans they could have taught the Africans to build seafaring ships and the wheel.

If white Americans were enslaved by Africans, I would hope the United States Marine Corps would go all the way "to the shores of Tripoli" to get them back.
