racist white canadians and europeans want you to believe the slave trade worked like this

It cannot be stressed enough just how staggering the numbers are either. Slavery was an international business run by white european colonizers. Even after the slave trade was "banned" by countries such as England and France those same countries continued to tacitly support the enslavement of Black people (as well as the indigenous peoples of their colonial holdings) by consuming huge amounts of the products only made possibly through the labor of enslaved peoples. The United States still has barely acknowledged its vile history as a slave economy, something it remains to be to this day through the enslavement of Black and Brown people in the carceral system, but Canada, Europe, and much of South America have seemingly gotten away scott free.
