Given that more than three million of the ten million or so Africans who crossed the Atlantic as slaves before 1850 were shipped in British vessels, the putative British reparations burden could be in the region of andpound;150 trillion.

After they so called freed the slaves in the south but not in the north 40 acres and a mule was the reparations promised to them but reneged on. Also vagrancy laws were imposed soon after many were freed. So if you got stopped and had no money and a place to live you were arrested and sent to prison. Most coming to the U.S. Show more >>
