Slavery and the Democrats

Blacks were not enslaved because they were black, but because they were available.
Slavery has existed in the world for thousands of years.
Whites enslaved whites in Europe for centuries before the first black was brought to the Western hemisphere
Asians enslaved Europeans.
Asians enslaved other Asians.
Africans enslaved other Africans and even today, in North Africa blacks continue to enslave other blacks. Slavery has existed since the Old Testament Biblical times.
A bit of history that is conveniently ignored; between 1500 and the 1860's at least 12 million Africans were brought to the ‘New World’ of the Americas.
Of these 12 million forced into slavery, less than 500,000 were brought to North America. The remaining 2,500,000 Africans went to South America and the Caribbean. By the mid-1600's Europeans were outnumbered by Africans in cities such as Mexico City, Havana and Lima.
The first legal slave owner in American history was a black tobacco farmer named Anthony Johnson; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_J ... (colonist)
South Carolina’s largest slave holder in 1860 was a black plantation owner named William Ellison; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Ellison
American Indians owned thousands of black slaves; http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/a ... s-7986049/
In 1830 there were 3,775 free black people who owned 12,740 black slaves; http://www.ironbarkresources.com/slaves ... aves05.htm
Many black slaves were allowed to hold jobs, own businesses and own real estate;
Brutal black on black slavery was common in Africa for thousands of years; https://townhall.com/columnists/michael ... ry-n876052
Most slaves brought from Africa to America were purchased from black slave owners; http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/disp_t ... 2&psid=445
White people ended legal chattel slavery; This is a useless fact. Since black slaves couldn’t vote and had no rights, it would have been impossible for them to end slavery.
