Too many think it was only Africans, they are ignorant of all the others, Chinese, Irish, Scots, American Indian etc.

Thank you for posting this. If you don't mind I saved it in my history file.

One of the commodities crossing the northern border out of Canada is slaves. Being brought to America. The last batch I heard about were Asian, and were transferred from their native country.

There is nothing new under the sun.
