i did not say that britain alone CREATED the slave trade. I mean Europe as a continent, Colonialism. I know you brits like to separate yourselves from the European continent, but at the time, you were all scrambling to conquer as many lands as possible, and slavery was part of that strategy.

For Europe to deny it's responsibilities is outrageous. The vast majority of Natives killed in the Americas (north and south) and all other colonies were killed by diseases, not by war.

All Slavery in the Americas (north and south) was implemented by European colonialism. You made it, it's your design, and the consequences fall on your shoulders.

To deny it, is simply ignorant.
