This is not to say slavery was right because it was not. Let us do a comparison to the people that live in the African nations that American slaves came from to the Black Americans today. One would have to realize that the vast majority of slaves sold were sold by their black captures either by losing in wars between tribes or in trade. One would have to admit this was not the cream of the crop. Even though the heirs of these slaves were the lucky ones. They have so much more today than the ones that sold them into slavery.
