This is a well known fact that is overlooked and rarely talked about. It doesn't fit the narrative in the US that demonrats want to spin to control the black populace.
I know that's Larry Elder... Am searching for this particular quote and will post link as soon as I find it... Mr. Elder I quoting Thomas Sowell however...
I don't have a particular source... It's just one of the many quotes and sayings I've picked up along the way... I apologize for not having a better answer for you... Cheers fren...
The Wars against the Barbary Pirates is where the Navy was justified and the Marines were created. "To the Shores of Tripoli" in the Marine Corps Hymn refers to these 2 wars fought by the US, Sweden and Sicily against the pirates. The Barbary Coast is the area of ancient Carthage.
"There is no historical evidence to support the claim that more white people were brought as slaves to North Africa than black people to the United States.
While it is true that there were instances of Europeans being captured and enslaved by North African states, particularly during the early modern period, the number of white slaves taken in this way was relatively small compared to the millions of Africans who were forcibly brought to the Americas to work as slaves.
In contrast, the transatlantic slave trade involved the abduction and transportation of over 12 million Africans to the Americas between the 16th and 19th centuries. These individuals were subjected to brutal conditions, forced labor, and violence, resulting in countless deaths and generations of trauma for those who survived.
It is important to acknowledge and understand the full scope and impact of the transatlantic slave trade, and to reject false equivalences or attempts to minimize its historical significance."

Barbary wars anyone?
Or know the cause for them? Exactly this. Over 4 million sailors disappeared off their shores.
The Wars against the Barbary Pirates is where the Navy was justified and the Marines were created. "To the Shores of Tripoli" in the Marine Corps Hymn refers to these 2 wars fought by the US, Sweden and Sicily against the pirates. The Barbary Coast is the area of ancient Carthage.
Here is some interesting reading on the subject:

Was the first time we declared war as a nation state.

According to what I've read, approximately 450,000 Africans were brought to the Americas... You might want to recheck those numbers... Cheers fren...
12 million departed for the "new world" 10.7 million survived.
Only 388,000 went to North America.
The 400k is at the end of course.
So where did all the others goo???? Pbs SAUCe
That is a good question... Cheers fren...
