This is not an Inflammatory posy and should not be resounded as such!
I know a lot about history and Slavery took place on 5 of the 7 continents wat before the 1400s.
Please read my main point before responding!


The African Nations, European Nations promoted Slavery and US Repreparations​

When many Americans think of the enslaving of Africans along the west coast of Africa, they think that the main way that the Europeans way of catching African slaves was to cruise Western Africa and attack villages along the coast line. This was not coast efferent for the European slavers. The European’s set up slave trading outposts along the western coast of Africa aligning themselves with powerful kingdoms or city states to trade goods for slaves. I think 8 million + slaves reached South America and the North American colonies. The point being without the Help of Powerful African Kingdoms & city States would have not been a lucrative trade for the European’s. I do believe that slavery still would have existed, but no where the 8 million the Europeans traded for and took to south America and the north American Collins.

The Idea of Reparations is Tricky
Main Point!​

The biggest problem with the U.S giving out reparations is that the North American colonist were not the only ones involved in the African slave trade. Most of the black slaves that the European slavers bought were already slaves in Africa & sold to the European Slavers by powerful African kingdoms. You also have a problem with white immigrants that settle in the U.S. that were never slave holders. If reparations were to be given then ALL parties responsible for the slave trade. This would include the European countries and The African Kingdoms listed below

Slave market regions and participation​

Major slave trading regions of Africa, 15th–19th centuries
There were eight principal areas used by Europeans to buy and ship slaves to the Western Hemisphere. The number of enslaved people sold to the New World varied throughout the slave trade. As for the distribution of slaves from regions of activity, certain areas produced far more enslaved people than others. Between 1650 and 1900, 10.2 million enslaved Africans arrived in the Americas from the following regions in the following proportions.:

Although the slave trade was largely global, there was considerable intracontinental slave trade in which 8 million people were enslaved within the African continent. Of those who did move out of Africa, 8 million were forced out of Eastern Africa to be sent to Asia.
African kingdoms of the era​
There were over 173 city-states and kingdoms in the African regions affected by the slave trade between 1502 and 1853, when Brazil became the last Atlantic import nation to outlaw the slave trade. Of those 173, no fewer than 68 could be deemed nation states with political and military infrastructures that enabled them to dominate their neighbors. Nearly every present-day nation had a pre-colonial predecessor, sometimes an African empire with which European traders had to trade deals with.

Good historical info - and historically losers of wars many times were enslaved as well. Even the great movie Amistad show black slaves traders selling captives to the slave traders. Awful that all of that happened but it did, and it is history to be learned from!
