...to answer a question about slavery and Brazil...


During the Atantic Slave Trade era, approximately 1450-1850,

          40% went to Brazil

          40% went to the Carribean

          15% went to countries other that the US

          5% went to what is now the US (remember, Spain and France claimed much of the territory at one time)

In 1800, over half of the residents of Brazil were African slaves.
