While partially irrelevant to the current topic, I always found it rather amusing that most of the slaves brought over to America were actually given/sold to us by the natives, themselves. While the records will never be entirely accurate, they appear to suggest that hardly any natives were forcibly taken into slavery by the outlanders. (They had no reason to hide that information back then, either.) Made even more funny when modern political correctness has supposed descendants from former slaves calling for entitlement payments from the white oppressors. Might be better to cast the eyes of avarice over the ol' homefront, instead. ;)
