Map showing the scale of the African slave trade

[alexguiness]

What most people forget is that black slaves were SOLD by black owners in the first case.

It was never a case of whitey just turning up on the beach in Africa, loading on hundreds of Africans at gunpoint and taking them back to the USA to pick cotton.

Yes Whitey was bad for exploiting slavery, but it equally culpable were the Black African slave owners.

I wonder why the world decided blacks were the one to enslave? were they the only ones selling their own people? were they weak and easy to enslave?

Haven't been to South America but it seems they don't have much blacks there. Where did the slaves and their children go if they had more slaves than US?

A lot more of them died. Brazil and Cuba were particularly brutal to slaves. They'd literally work them to death. That's why they have such high levels of slaves imported, they needed to constantly bring in more to keep up numbers.
