Is this true?

Question

I've been learning alot about blacks because my cousin recently married one and I don't want to be offensive (I have not known very many blacks and it was because of my environment and not by choice). Anyhow, I have been researching and It seems that although nearly every society has had slaves, throughout the entire world history, only Africans were actually taken from their place of origin and brought to an entire other continent. I read that it is the biggest forced exodus ever. Is this true? Because if it is, I think it changes everything.

Answer 1

I think this link could be helpful http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_slave_trade

Answer 2

Like Cyndi Lauper said, Money changes everything.

Answer 3

I like your screen name-I'm a fan of Jules Verne. But why does the slavery of African Americans change everything? Slavery is slavery, no matter how it's done or who's enslaved.

Answer 4

Did you read that it was the blacks in Africa that started the selling of other blacks to ships that stopped there.... and blacks always had control of the slave trade out of black africa.

Answer 5

I think it was because Africa was the only close continent other than Europe.

Answer 6

nope, the largest exodus ever (concerning relative population et al) was the exodus of the jewish to egypt. true story.
