US had that small an amount? (although one slave was one too many and a blight on our history).
How are the reparations funding agreements going in Netherlands, Spain, Portugal & Brazil and so on.
Haven’t heard.
U.S.A: 252,652.
Back in high school, I was taught the Confederacy had a population of 9 million. That included 5 million whites and 4 million slaves. The Union had a population of 21 million.
That was one reason given for the South's defeat. The Union had a larger population of fighting men. And the South couldn't even field all their fighting men because some had to stay home to guard the slaves.
It is thought that 40 million indigenous US blacks started out from a stock population of about 300,000 transatlantic slaves.

Thanks for the stats. I’ve seen variations of that list over the years.
