Millions of yankees made profits by venturing capital in the trade. I'm calling BS on this one. Millions? The entire free white population of the northern states in 1800 was barely over 2 million.

They did so in 1799, 1798, 1797 and decades further back, and in 1801, 1802, 1803 and up to the war. The slave trade was the cornerstone of the northern economy and the Triangle trade.
