I saw a thread here recently that argued that most of the purchases of slaves in America happened before America became a nation and that England was responsible for the vast majority of bringing slaves to the New World.

Therefore England is responsible for any reparations.

Something like 4% of the Atlantic Slave Trade went to the British Colonies in North America. Most of the slave trade was a Spanish and Portuguese affair, heading to the Caribbean and to South America.
