Compared to its contemporaries, only Portugal transported more African slaves across to the America's. But hey, they stopped doing it, after a couple hundred years so let's everyon…

Eric Williams: “British historians write almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it.
