...from your article:


"As a result of the slave trade, five times as many Africans arrived in the Americas than Europeans. Slaves were needed on plantations and for mines and the majority was shipped to Brazil, the Caribbean, and the Spanish Empire. Less than 5% traveled to the Northern American States formally held by the British.


If that means that 5% of the total went directly to the US, that is the same approximation I have heard. The remainder came to the US from other slave counrties, mostly Carribean. Half the Blacks living in the US have absolutely no ancestor, not even one, who was ever a slave in this country.

The site is one I have read before. Even though most of what is said is accurate, they exaggerated British responsilbility as part of their agenda. I believe the Brits were a distant fourth behind Portugal, Spain and France. The Dutch had some involvement too.
