Tainari88 wrote:Puerto Rico and many nations in the Caribbean and in other nations where slavery lasted well into the 19th century, they had an official holiday. Puerto Rico's is March 22nd, 1873. The US did not have an emancipation day or end of slavery day because the Southern Confederate losing states would block celebrating it for a very very long time. It was a festering wound and they did not want to have it poked every year with Black people in Mississippi, Alabama, Lousiana, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, Oklahoma, Texas celebrating the end of the slave states.
Notice there wasn't a civil war in PR to end slavery. It was ended by the Spanish Crown's decree. And Betances from Puerto Rico pressured the Spanish court to do so.
The USA had to go to a bloody civil war that lasted four years 1961-1865. And it had issues for years afterwards with the KKK raiding the South to kill at will. It terrorized the people who were living their 40 acres and a mule settlement from the federal government in DC.

Most of the Atlantic slave trade was carried out by seven nations and most of the slaves were carried to their own colonies in the new world. But there was also significant other trading which is shown in the table below.[110] The records are not complete, and some data is uncertain. The last rows show that there were also smaller numbers of slaves carried to Europe and to other parts of Africa, and at least 1.8 million did not survive the journey and were buried at sea with little ceremony.

So 388,747 landed in all of North America, thats 300,000 in the United States. Brother man. By the way, thats faster growth rate than the general population in frontier disease conditions, disease is the top killer of everybody. An estimated 4.9 million enslaved people from Africa were imported to Brazil during the period from 1501 to 1866. Of the total, only 10.7 million slaves survived the journey.
Canadian scholar Adam Jones characterized the deaths of millions of Africans during the Atlantic slave trade as genocide.
Eltis argues that traditional beliefs existed in Europe against enslaving Christians (few Europeans not being Christian at the time) and those slaves that existed in Europe tended to be non-Christians and their immediate descendants (since a slave converting to Christianity did not guarantee emancipation) and thus by the fifteenth century Europeans as a whole came to be regarded as insiders. Eltis argues that while all slave societies have demarked insiders and outsiders, Europeans took this process further by extending the status of insider to the entire European continent, rendering it unthinkable to enslave a European since this would require enslaving an insider. Conversely, Africans were viewed as outsiders and thus qualified for enslavement. While Europeans may have treated some types of labour, such as convict labour, with conditions similar to that of slaves, these labourers would not be regarded as chattel and their progeny could not inherit their subordinate status, thus not making them slaves in the eyes of Europeans. The status of chattel slavery was thus confined to non-Europeans, such as Africans.[87]
Slavery was not legally ended nationwide until 1888, when Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil, promulgated the Lei Áurea ("Golden Act"). But it was already in decline by this time (since the 1880s the country began to attract European immigrant labor instead). Brazil was the last nation in the Western world to abolish slavery, and by then it had imported an estimated 4,000,000 (other estimates are 5, 6, or as high as 12.5 million) slaves from Africa. This was 40% of all slaves shipped to the Americas.[16]

The prominent rapists dominators and appropriators being the Catholic forced-marriage operations with mass genocides. It appears to be a by-word among the 41 million african americans to discuss the 14 million afro-Brazilians who are outcasts and not valued as humans among African Americans who are firmly assured of their own story and superpowers within the American experience.
