    I believe the African tribesmen are the ones who sold them.

    That’s not really a defense; considering not one cracker stopped and said “hey, wait, this is wrong; these aren’t chattel” for another two hundred and fifty years.

      Don’t get me wrong, I am in no way defending what occurred. It is horrible, terrible shit beyond redemption. I was just pointing out that often overlooked aspect of history.
