100 are being sold—some from Africa (I don't know when the trans-Atlantic slave trade was banned by the US).

While in the crowd, you are approached by some entity. He, or she, or it, gives you three choices, a fourth being you decline any of the above three (and nothing happens).

First choice is that this entity will buy you 16 of those slaves, of which you, as the good person, will immediately free.

Second choice, the entity will provide a means for 4 of the slaves to escape without profit to the auctioneers or holders.

Third choice is all 100 of these kidnapped human beings immediately drop dead and somewhere in the Atlantic, the 100 slaves in a slave ship turn into dynamite and explode.

What would you choose?
 
why the fuck would I, or any other normal person, be at a slave auction?
 
It's a stupid question.

If you set them free, without some form of employment they would starve.

If you freed them you are responsible for their welfare until they can become self-sufficient. That would be very difficult for a freed slave then.

The cost of buying a single slave at the time was beyond the means of most people.
 
The Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves of 1807 (2 Stat. 426, enacted March 2, 1807) is a United States federal law that stated that no new slaves were permitted to be imported into the United States. It took effect in 1808, the earliest date permitted by the United States Constitution.

After multi-hundreds of (even a thousand+?) years of FORCED slavery by natives, and after 300+ years of FORCED slavery by Europeans on the North American continent, the United States of America at its very political creation acted to end slavery; just 76 years and more than 700,000 slaughtered American lives later, centuries-old evil was put in its rightful grave.

Sorry. That might be true in the US. Slavery still exists in the world.

I wonder what Harriet Tubman would have thought of that.

Your somewhat incomplete summary is somewhat correct.
 
You don't believe slavery still exists?

Since it's purposely short and succinct so even someone who didn't even know when the importation of slaves in the US was outlawed could understand, you should have no problem whatsoever easily pointing out any flaws in the facts I presented...

...right, wannabe?

Do you know when, American?


As for your flaws:
Sally Hemings—and TJ's octoroon sons.
Patrick Henry.
Andrew Jackson.
John Calhoun.

My post pertained to nothing else but the history of slavery on the North American continent, dumbfuck.

Go beat your globalist meat of utopian relativsim for your Queen, wanker.

and those people had nothing to do with such history?

When I masturbate, the purpose is wholly gratuitous. :D

Here, n00bnuts, let me point it out for you again:

Actually, those are "your flaws", since my post concerned not one of them in any way whatsoever.

Now that you've been FACTUALLY informed, can you at least have the decency to go back and edit-out your amateur ignorance? Or, you can just leave your ignorance there for all to see, just like the pro oggy always does.

"The 1807 Act ended the legality of trade with the U.S. However, it was not always well enforced and slaves continued to be smuggled in limited numbers. All the northern states had ended slavery by 1804, but ownership remained legal in all the Southern states. The 1807 law did not change that—it just made importation from abroad a crime. The domestic slave trade within the U.S. was unaffected by the 1807 law."

Some of the slaves might have been smuggled in, maybe come from a third country, or they were born just before the act.


Those people have nothing to do with slavery in North America?
 
In the 1850's I would have been running a flour mill in Shropshire powered by a water wheel.
