What percentage of Africans shipped to the Western Hemisphere came to what is now the United States, the country universally deplored as the cause of slavery?
5%.
Not to mention that many more black Africans were shipped as slaves to North Africa and the Middle East than to the New World. The trade started centuries earlier and laster later. Yet comparatively few people with African ancestry are found in the ME.
Why? Because African slave women were mostly used for domestic drudgery and not allowed to breed. The men were mostly used as soldiers or eunuchs, in neither case being allowed to have families.
It breaks my heart to understand history! I have been to Charlestown, SC. The slaves were brought to the USA because the White Race can not tolerate the Heat for extended periods of time which was required in the Rice fields.
They were fed and housed well. It was a better deal than staying in Africa and being killed or straving to death.
We actually have some black professors in the USA that have come out and said that blacks in Africa Volunteered to come to keep from starving in Africa. America only had a tiny percentage of slaves. South America and the Middle East had the slaves
