@mario_anchor @Treppenwitz34 @wil_da_beast630 Of course it left those countries underdeveloped. All the wealth was transferred to the colonial powers! This isn't! The one country that had slavery and maintained wealth is US -- because the wealth from slavery stayed with white Americans in America. THIS AIN'T HARD. — PolitiTweet.org

@GJMcCrea @mckelvey14 @Kevin_Ashton And 2nd richest in the country: "James DeWolf of Bristol, Rhode Island (1764-1837) was a United States senator and a wealthy merchant who, at the time of his death, was reported to be the second richest person in the country. He was also the leading slave trader in US history." — PolitiTweet.org

@darcyjamesargue @AdamG01UNC Yes. I meant to type 400 years. And it's 1526 to 1888, when Brazil abolished slavery. — PolitiTweet.org

The proud ignorance because some of you are ashamed of the truth is breathtaking. — PolitiTweet.org

"By 1820, about 8.4 million Africans had been forcibly imported into the Americas compared to just 2.4 million European immigrants. Even in the area that would become the United States, about half of all immigrants to the 13 colonies from 1700 to 1775 came from Africa." — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
AFRICAN PEOPLE WERE LITERALLY THE MAIN LABOR FORCE IN THE COLONIES. "Before the 19th century, most immigrants to the New World were African. According to one recent estimate, about 80 percent of women immigrants and 90 percent of child immigrants came from Africa." — PolitiTweet.org

"The slave plantations of the West Indies became the largest market for American fish, oats, corn, flour, lumber, peas, beans, hogs, and horses. New Englanders distilled molasses produced by slaves in the French and Dutch West Indies into rum." — PolitiTweet.org

"But it wasn't just slave traders or New World planters who benefited from the slave trade. American ship owners, farmers, and fisherman also profited from slavery. Slavery played a pivotal role in the growth of commercial capitalism in the colonies." — PolitiTweet.org

"In the mid-18th century, a third of the British merchant fleet was engaged in transporting 50,000 Africans a year to the New World." https://t.co/pFHblNhmOe — PolitiTweet.org

Between the early 1500s and the early 1800s, the slave trade became one of Europe's largest and most profitable industries. Profits from the slave trade were said to run as high as 300 percent." — PolitiTweet.org

I LITERALLY COULD DO THIS ALL NIGHT. You think Europeans transported 13 million human beings across the Atlantic, built an ocean of slave colonies and entire banking, shipping and commodities industries to support it because they were just EXTRA RACIST? — PolitiTweet.org

"We find that Britain would have been substantially poorer and more agricultural in the absence of overseas slave wealth. Overall, our findings are consistent with the view that slavery wealth accelerated Britain’s industrial revolution." https://t.co/bbi9ILhpbH — PolitiTweet.org
