Is it really asking too much for people to think for five seconds before opening their mouths? They didn't 'get rich based on slavery', they were able to buy slaves because they were already rich. You think a poor person could buy slaves and become an overnight millionaire?Absolute crap, to say that the richest families in the US and GB and the rest of Europe never benefited is complete nonsense have a look at the London mansions (built on slavery) of those poor slave plantation owners from the West Indies, by your logic they were all idiots for having to hire men to keep them from running away and they actually never made any money. Dear god what did they sell? Cotton, Sugar, Molllasses these people were millionaires in thier time. Do your own research.
