It was a different time. Slavery had been an accepted institution for thousands of years.

As falsely depicted, white men did not dock their ships on the beach and go on raiding parties to steal away women and children. Their were powerful black kingdoms in existence who would have slaughtered the whites if that were true. The truth is that black slaves were sold in Africa in black slave markets. They were conquered peoples, prisoners of war, and victims of kidnappings. The slave trade became a huge financial business. The poison of slave trading started in America in l6l9 and continued for many years. Slave trading STILL exists to this day in parts of Africa.

Americans would be able to take them away from many different places. They were able to get some slaves from Africa and take them home via ship. Slaves were sometimes taken away from their family so that they could work for the people who bought them.
