13141461, There weren't that many slaves brought from Africa... Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Tue Apr-04-17 11:29 PM
One of the biggest lies we're told is that "millions of slaves were brought from Africa." The truth is that the slave breeding industry is what created more slaves. A great book on that subject is "The America Slave Coast" by Ned and Constance Sublette. Actually I highly recommend that book. (It's probably much more advanced reading than a 3 yr old can handle tho lol, but do tell them the truth you find it.) Btw, here's a quote from the beloved American, Thomas Jefferson in reference to slavery.
"I know of no error more consuming to an estate than stocking farms with men almost exclusively. I consider a woman who brings a child every two years as more profitable than the best man of the farm. What she produces is an addition to the capital, while his labors disappear in mere consumption."
Please note that he uses the word "stock" there as if to reference livestock.
