Bullshit. If only your genocidal slave trading founders had been up to the task of performing their own labor. But they considered labor beneath them, much like your current grifter aristocracy.
Hey, shitstain.......my ancestors didn't get here till after the Civil War...you dumb ass.......and before you criticize Americans....blame the Africans for the slave trade, and the Europeans for the slave trade.......and the majority of the slaves went to central and south America....blame them too....you are a really stupid human....
Not quite true.
While sugar plantations did use slaved in the Caribbean, slavery was not very profitable to not in great demand until the invention of the cotton gin made cotton so profitable in the US.
And the Civil War did not at all end slavery in the US, but only switched it to economic force instead of the whip.
Essentially economic slavery is still quite popular in the US, with massive tax breaks for "landlords", but none for poor renters. Everyone should be embarrassed that renters can not write off rent payments as a cost of doing business.
And no, Africans were not much involved in the slave trade. The closest you could get to that is to say Arabs from the Mideast.
Wow...another dumb person posting....
More Slaves were shipped to south America and the caribbean...that is a fact.
Slavery ended.......when the Republicans killed enough democrats to make them give up their slaves....
Economic slavery is a joke that you guys keep telling yourselves because you have reality dyslexia.
Moron...Africans drove the slave Trade.......... and the Europeans bought the slaves and sent them to the new world....
Moron....
Slavery in the Americas | Slavery and Remembrance
Only about 6 percent of all Africans shipped across the Atlantic were taken to North America. The largest numbers went to Brazil and to the Caribbean.
-------
The newly founded United States was home to 700,000 enslaved people (one million lived and toiled in Brazil at the same time).
------------
But wherever sugar dominated, enslaved populations tended to increase only from the importations of Africans. As planters converted more land to sugar cultivation, they sought more African laborers. Yet the higher proportion of Africans, the worse the levels of sickness and death (a clear link to the trauma of enslavement and the Middle Passage). In addition, work in the sugar fields, where men tended to outnumber women, was severely taxing and general health was worse than in other slave work.
Wrong.
The slave section of the US was very small in area, so then the concentration of slaves was huge, and therefore very abusive.
The slavery in the Caribbean and South America was over 10 times the area, with only about the same number of slaves, so was entirely different and much less abusive.
You can also tell there was a difference in levels of abuse because slavery was voluntarily ended in South America and the Caribbean, decades before it took a war to end it in the US.
And your figures are skewed because they only talk about numbers of slaves shipped, while slavery in the US increased by over a factor of 10, decades after shipping slaves to the US was outlawed.
US slaves were multiplied descendants, not imported.
{... Congress first regulated against the trade in the
Slave Trade Act of 1794. The 1794 Act ended the legality of American ships participating in the trade. The 1807 law did not change that—it made all importation from abroad, even on foreign ships, a federal crime. The United Kingdom, the major power involved in the
Atlantic slave trade, had passed the comparable
Abolition of the Slave Trade Act, on February 23, 1807 (achieving royal assent on March 25, 1807). ...}
