I’m sure that if the original slave owners could see how this all turned out they would have told the slave traders to keep their Africans.

“I’m sure that if the original slave owners could see how this all turned out they would have told the slave traders to keep their Africans.”

Spot on!! The U.S. ended up with about 10% of the slaves that were sold to the slave traders by the black tribes in Africa. The remainder went to other places around the world in much larger numbers — including the Carribian and Brazil.

Can you imagine how bad it would be if that 10% had been doubled? Even Lincoln thought about sending them back.
