The question of the thread was they could make a decision on the issue. It is a false premise, they had no choice.
Whether it was the tribe next door, or the Muslims, or the Christians, doing the slaving, the natives had no choice.
The Irish slaves didn’t have a choice either, nor did any slaves regardless of colour. At the end of it all, nobody today had anything to do with that. The only people operating a slave market today is islamists, so why aren’t people going after them?
There’s a lot of blacks today that never would of had the opportunities they have now if their ancestors weren’t sent over. God does indeed work in mysterious ways sometimes. There’s a silver lining in every cloud.
