“The descendants of slaves didn’t go through it...Also, they would never have been born. But slavery was and is an abomination.”

My son back in high school did a paper on slavery. The lucky ones made it to America. In 1808 no new slaves could be imported into America. Even before that, the slaves in America fared much better than those in the Caribbean. Most of those died within a year or two of working the cane fields. I forget what the average life span of a slave in the states was, but much higher.

Of course part of the goal was for them to have children who would also be slaves as no outside sources were allowed.
