I want to know why blacks and not Chinese or Arabs or better yet Indians? With Indians you wouldn't have nearly as many issues with getting them to the new world and all the numbers who died along the way. And for edification purposes, we Americans did bring a lot of the blacks here to the US. Even after it was outlawed there were many American based slave runners, especially after the invention of the cotton gin when the price of a slave increased over 1000%. In fact, the CSA only kept the law prohibiting slave running solely to placate the border states since these states were the main supplier of slaves to the lower southern states.</p></blockquote><p></p>
