Don't leave out who actually ran them down, caught them, and sold them to the slavers.
It's amazing how many people don't know the answer to this. Hell I was among them; to me it was a forgone conclusion until maybe 5 or so years ago.
As bad as buying a slave is, I still think it's far worse to capture someone and sell them into slavery. If reparations make sense at all then that's who should pay it, but I don't think it makes one iota of sense hundreds of years after the fact.
Jews also bought them in larger numbers than Whites.
There were also blacks who owned black slaves.
Anthony Johnson (around 1670) was a black man who owned black slaves, and got the British laws (in the American colonies) changed so that a slave could be owned for life. Previously, the maximum was 7 years.
So, the White British colonists had a law that anyone who was a slave could become free after 7 years. But it took a black man to challenge the law, and the result was that it was changed to enslavement for life.
Thank you! I've told this story many times and I'm getting tired of typing it. It took a black man, himself a freed and wealthy former slave, to bring the African tradition of lifetime slavery to the English Colonies.
