Also remember that the United States of America participated in the Atlantic Slave Trade from 1787 to 1805. Eighteen years. We are not the guilty ones.
Looks to me that those who want reparations for the slave trade in America should take it up with the British…
The map explains something that is overlooked or forgotten. Most slaves were used to make money. And where was money to be made? Places that could grow and process sugar cane. Producing sugar was almost as good as finding Aztec/Inca gold.
What was to become the United States didn’t have the climate or soil to produce sugar cane so relatively few slaves ended up here.
