@NYCSWH @FightingFitzman @MoeThacker1 @LitUpMagazine1 At the Civil War, the US had the largest population of enslaved people in the hemisphere, more than even Brazil, which imported millions more Africans into slavery than the U.S. but also emancipated far more. — PolitiTweet.org

@FightingFitzman @NYCSWH @MoeThacker1 @LitUpMagazine1 I mean, I get it, we’ve all been told an incomplete history that furthers the master (I’d argue master’s) narrative in an effort to downplay the moral and economic liability in engaging in chattel slavery and the Trans-Atlantic trade. But simplistic fairytales are not useful. — PolitiTweet.org

@FightingFitzman @NYCSWH @MoeThacker1 @LitUpMagazine1 It was to the economic advantage of the U.S., which was breeding its own self-replenishing enslaved population, to stop the international trade. And still, illegal smuggling of enslaved people into the U.S. continues until 1865. — PolitiTweet.org
