Maybe you don't know, but the US was only 4% of the total slavery in the americas. The vast majority of slavery and the european slavetrade was south america. Get yur facts right.

The majority of slavery was in the carribean islands, and the east coast of south america. infct Brazil accounted for 40% of the slave trade comared to the US at 4%.

If you wanna talk about slavery, you need to talk to europe and south america. north america and the Us was a tiny miniscule percentage of what what was going on.

Wonder why the carribean islands are almost all black people????

oh yea, cause when the slave trade became illegal, you just left them there.

You can try and twist it all you like, but the fact is, slavery was EUROPEAN. Not American, or African, it was EUROPEANS making the big bucks off it, and the minute it became illegal, you just washed yur hands of it, and left us to clean up the mess.

try to rewrite history all you like, but we don't forget.

If you've followed the discussion, you'd realise that I'm not defending anything Europe did, neither did I say that America has done worse things, I'm just disagreeing that America is some perfect haven when the country's done its fair share of bad, particularly in recent history. I'm not sure why you've bombarded me with a textwall on the ins and outs of slavery from hundrerd of years ago, when Europe was unarguably worse.
