Who benefited more from black chattel slavery in the “now” US? The long dead whites and their posterity? Or, the long dead blacks and their posterity who were given the benefit of living in the greatest, most prosperous and freest nation state in the history of the world?
In Georgia, at the college level, African American history was required.Taking a night class on history we learned that 95% of slaves went to central and south america from Africa, in Brazil 80% died working in the mines and clearing swamps. The African American teacher of the class made it clear that slavery didn’t start in America, and that the lucky ones were sent to America. He had more arguments in class with young African American men who believed that american started slavery, and that we sent troops to Africa to collect slaves. It was somewhat amusing to watch.
