    If black ancestors knew that black people would be freed in America, do you believe they would have sold them into slavery?

    I really don't believe that they look that far into future events, For their main goal was free labor and making money and that is what happen during the slave trade here in America and the Western hemisphere For a lot of Northern and Southern and Foreign families and American and Foreign Banks got very, very rich from the slave trade.......................

    The importation of slave was much like importation of Opium into China

    I think the fear came when they realized there were so many black people in the south and so few whites. Had blacks organized and had and uprising, there would be a different story being told today.
