Interesting factoid. In media and the world, you’d get the impression the United States was largely responsible for slavery and the slave trade.

But you never, ever hear about the original sin of Brazil or Barbados being slavery.

The US participation in the world slave trade was really the rump end of it. By far, the bulk of it was with Brazil and the Caribbean islands.
