England had to figure out what to do with a boat load of slaves. So they decided to try to bring them to the America's (all up and down the Eastern coast to include South America) and trade them for our wheat and cotton. Yes the farmers excepted this and used the slaves to help work the fields and built bigger fields due to all the hands he had working the fields.

You do realize even after Lincoln freed the southern slaves that the northern slaves were not free? Lincoln hoped by freeing the slaves it would cause the Africans to rise up and fight against the Rebs. Unfortunatly that didn't happen and many of slaves joined the south in fighting for the southern rights.

You speak of New Hamshire yet they were one of the states that banned the freed Africans. Even made a law to have them hanged.

Also why was it that 10 to 20 yrs after America freed their slaves America was still shipping slaves to South America? Then when America banned the practice of shipping slaves, England continued to pick up and ship for another 10 to 20 yrs? England is not innocent in their cause and effect. Neither is the Northern States. I'm so amazed at how people get up in arms about the Southern flag but the American flag was the one flying when slavery started. The American flag was flying when only the southern slaves were freed, not all slaves. It was the American flag that flew on American ships who continued to ship Africans. Plus it was the American flag that allowed segrigation and racism. Seperate bathrooms, schools, stores, restaruants...etc. all under the American flag.

Instead of hating the Rebel flag, how about hating the bigots? Like the KKK who, guess what, also fly the American flag.

Your history of the slave trade is way off.

Your right. Kinda. The slave trade started when other African tribes didn't want to be slaves to the Arabs so they kidnapped opposing tribes and turned them over to the Arabs so they would leave them alone. Then Britan and the Arabs started trading. Somewhere in there the Brits decided to cut out the middle man and started taking Africans on their own.
