Immigrants have a choice. Slaves do not

My ancestors did not immigrate here they were kidnapped and forced to work or die they got trafficked

they were imports. As bad as things were here in the states, South American slave trade was absolutely brutal, and the slaves never lasted long down there.

I think buck breaking, babies being fed to alligators, and being eaten is all pretty bad in the states. Also with South American slavery, a lot of countries tried to breed out blackness like Argentina for example. The Trans Atlantic Slave Trade is just one of the worst atrocities period

It’s just a it more information, not everything has to be some sort of grab at gleaning meaning out of things. Not sure why i got downvoted either. Ppl hurt over anything i suppose.

ur not just adding information. first you are being downvoted because you called humans imports, which is language that historians would call extremely dehumanizing. they want you to use the word trafficked or enslaved people for a reason. second, you are also being downvoted because the information is irrelevant to the US and the poll. no one is "hurt" we just think ur annoying
