True. When Africans were enslaved here, people all over the world would have (still would, in some places) gladly let themselves be enslaved instead of enduring the lives they DID lead.
Really? To be branded, sold at auction like an animal, have your children taken from you and sold, have your wife or husband taken from you at whim, to be beaten, to be mutilated, if your owner chose...yes, I’m sure there were people longing for that life.
