Reminder that even black people owned slaves because it was the way to wealth during the time period.
Reminder that almost all pirates traded in slaves as well after they captured them from merchant ships.
Please understand, im not condoning slavery or the unethical actions of a president. Merely that it was a sign of the times much like the elite business owners of the world who trade in wage slaves today.
The path to wealth (read:power) always goes through the workers.
