It was already well established in Virginia and Georgia. France had it, as well as Spain, though.

Virginia and Georgia were not acquisition points of the Louisiana Purchase.

More whites were slaves than blacks in the original colonies.

What is this? Someone trying to blame France for US slavery? Trying to disguise the fact that slavery was everywhere and had nothing to do with Africa?
Trying to tie property rights to slavery— gimme a F@#$in break! This is commie trash bait&switch — condeming property rights by tying it to owning people.

The largest number of slaves in the New World were held in Brazil... by Portugal. Portugal— not UK,France or Spain. The data is available online. Millions before the US became a country.
