Thankfully, they escaped via the underground railroad, which showed great courage. However, slavery could not have been defeated if not for the firepower and bravery of northern whites who really saved us for all of history. The media does not report on this. I have nothing but respect for what our country stands for and what whites and blacks have together achieved in terms of standing up for human rights. I wish others would feel the same and abandon the racist media's self serving and divisive narrative! |

White males created a country just for them; no non-whites nor women of ANY color had a say or could even vote. Every group other than white males has had to fight for whatever rights they currently have. So really, thinking whites for ending slavery is a lot like thanking a gunman at a massacre for saving your life. Your life wasn't in danger until the gunman came around!

Blacks enslaved the slaves and sold them here. The slaves were "sold" more or less legally by their (black) owners. Scholars estimate that about 12,000,000 Africans were sold by Africans to Europeans (most of them before 1776, when the USA wasn't yet born) and 17,000,000 were sold to Arabs. The legends of European mercenaries capturing free people in the jungle are mostly just that: legends. A few white mercenaries certainly stormed peaceful tribes and committed terrible crimes, but that was not the norm. There was no need to risk their lives, so most of them didn't: they simply purchased (black) people. |

Fact: The "Enslaving" part was performed primarily by the Moores, Turks(MUSLIMS). Look up the Barbary Slave Trade. Muslims would raid villages along African and European coasts looking for people of any color. They would kidnap them and sell them into slavery. Although some whites were involved as well,(Christopher Columbus was a slave trader) Fact: "Slavery" was common around the World in those times and was used the same way "Debt" is today. Fact: Most Slaves were not slaves at all but "Indentured Servants", they would work off their debts and then be free. Fact: The first slave owner was a Black Man. Fact: Only 2% of Whites in the States were slave owners. Fact: 17% of Blacks in the States were slave owners. There is much much more for you to learn... |
