Learn your history. There wasn’t any U.S. flagged ships running slaves. While they came from the eastern Atlantic area, the majority were Portugese, Dutch, and British.
Wrong at he early stages of slavery it was , but as time went by and years went on, then after we got our independence we were bringing them here.
Those ships sailed from MA, DE, RI, NJ, NY.
The flag was made out of the Andrews cross a symbol used by the Christian faith and then used to distinguish between two armies. It was never the official Govt flag. It was not ever used to fly over slavery.
As for the KKK using it then they also used the stars an stripes. The very fact that they are using this shooting to promote their left wing agenda is sick and twisted.]]
Also would you like to address the flags being flown out west while we killed, raped, took land, robbed and displaced the natives. Why no outrage by the media and the left which are the same over that?
There were as late as 1860. American citizen Nathaniel Gordon on the American flagged ship Erie was stopped by the USS Mohican about 50 miles of the coast of Africa. The ship was carrying 897 future slaves. The Africans were taken to Liberia, and Gordon was brought to the United States. He was tried and executed in New York City. Some Americans ships did engage in the slave trade, but as you point out the majority were Portuguese, Dutch or British
