This POS is Portuguese.
Portugal had a near monopoly on the African slave trade (due to a Papal bull) from the late 1400s until the early 1700s and was responsible, directly or indirectly, for the overwhelming majority of slaves transported to the Americas for the duration of the transatlatic slave trade.
To put it in perspective, about 3% of enslaved Africans ended up in North America. Most ended up in Brazil (a Portuguese colony) and various islands.
Sounds like Portugal and Brazil needs to pay 90%+ of the bill.
Nobody needs to pay any percent of the extortion.
Everybody involved is dead. This is all about thieves and liars stealing from and scamming YOU.
The slaves went where there was money to be made using slave labor. Although really cheap now, sugar used to be the real money maker. Trouble is, sugar cane is a crop that needs lots of attention in both growing and processing. Perfect for slavery because to justify the cost of a slave, the slave must produce value virtually every day. So the slaves went to places where sugar and other ‘fussy’ cash crops could be grown.
North America was limited by soil and climate for sugar, so relatively few slaves were imported here. Whitney’s invention of the cotton gin made cotton a ‘fussy’ high-value cash crop, but soon after its invention, the importation of slaves to the U.S. was outlawed.
