It is virtually impossible to number the amount of slaves lost during the slave trade. Slaves were considered propery and therefore could be killed at the whim of the owner. No accurate records were kept of slave deaths. Disposal of property was not and is not recorded. Jealousy between whites and blacks does not exist in the truest term of jealousy. Whites as well as blacks often use, borrow, or steal things from other groups that they find attractive. An example of this would be the use of the phrase " girlfriend". It was used by blacks in their everyday speech and quickly caught on in white society. Very similar to this is the use of the term " brother". Many terms, styles of fashion, and day to day actions of black America become a part of American culture. Usually well after black society stops using the term or style of fashion. Baseball caps cocked to the side was a popular black fashion as well as wearing the pants low on the hips. These two fashion trends, now defunct in black society, are still popular in American culture. There are many more examples of things that blacks do or did that are now popular with whites, asians and spanish speaking Americans. Black cultural influence can be seen worldwide in music, fashion, everyday venacular, sports and entertainment. So to say that whites are jealous is in error. The entire world enjoys borrowing, stealing, and using things that they admire in black culture. So it is not jealousy, but it is admiration. But do not confuse this with repect.
i disagree, white folks are jealous of black people. they feel threatened to a degree when a black person obtains some sort of knowledge or accomplishment. it's one thing to borrow or steal from the black folks culture and to try to look black with the tan skin and curly hair perm. that's not being jealous, that's just borrowing, stealing, or using. but anytime you have a situation where black folks try to come up as a people and other folks try hard to keep them down, such as white folks, that is called jealousy. your question is valid.
New Entry - Obviously you did not pick up proper grammar or typing skills from these "white theives". White "folk" as you call them, are not jealous, you just think your so fabulous that everyone would want to be all gangsta and sh*t. We tan so we can look black? People often believe that tans make you look healthier and youthful. I've never seen a caucasian use relaxer to get rid of their kink. Your comments are quite ignorant and are a disgrace to your race, which I will perceive as black.

Who started african slavery?
Nobody "started" slavery, it has been a part of the human condition since cave man days. When someone would conquer another, the conqueror would take some of the conquered as slaves. The first Africans were brought to an English colony in 1619. A Dutch slave ship which had been trying to get to Spanish territory got blown off course and put in at Jamestown. They sold their human cargo there. The English settlers did not actually enslave those Africans though. Instead they made indentured servants of them and when their indentures were up the Africans were given land and tools just like any English indentured servant. Some things I have read say they were even given the right to vote. After that, more slavers began putting in to Jamestown but the English gradually changed the nature of the indentures, making them longer and longer for the Africans until finally they just started enslaving them outright. That does explain U.S. Historical slave trading. Slavery has been apart of civilization since the beginning of civilization or perhaps before. (civilization came later at first man just roamed free) Anyway, there were slaves in Egypt thousands of years ago known as the Israelites; today's Jewish people. Before that slavery most certainly existed and there is no way to pinpoint the first slave or first slave trader etc. Antao Goncalves and Nuno Tristao are considered to be the first Europeans to have obtained black slaves from Africa in 1441.

How many blacks died in slavery?
All blacks who were used as slaves have died since the passing of the 14th amendment which ended slavery in the US. I assume you mean how many blacks died as a result of slavery. In that case, the number is around 4,000. Actual slave deaths were relatively low because they were very expensive and were only killed if they posed a threat to citizens or other slaves.

What is the explanation to why the Confederacy did not draft slaves and free blacks into the army?
Your "facts" are in error.Between 65,000 and 100,000 blacks served in the Confederate Army. Let me restate that: as many as 100,000 blacks served in the Army of the South. These men were cooks, musicians, and soldiers.Of the 179,000 blacks who served in all aspects of the Union Army and 19,000 who served in the Navy, 40,000 died in service.Where the majority of Northern blacks volunteered, many of the Southern blacks were pressed into service, although quite a few volunteered to serve in the Confederate cause.
What was the ratio of blacks to whites serving in the Vietnam War?
Approximately one black to 8 whites served, similar to the proportion in the population at large. This was also the proportion of casualties during that war. There are myths that there were heavier casualties among blacks in Vietnam. Absolutely untrue. Whites died in much higher numbers, proportionate and absolute, during WW2, because blacks were seldom allowed in combat roles. For example, the US Marine Corp did not accept blacks until long after the war was over. Most blacks in WW2 served in support groups like transportion. These support troops suffered casualties, but not as large as front-line units. There were a few black front line units, most famously black fighter plane units, armored units, and some ground combat units, as depicted in the recent Spike Lee movie. Such units were, however, very small in number. All of the armed services in WW2 were segrated, the Marines the most so, not allowing blacks to join at all. The Navy in 99% of cases had blacks serve as cooks and waiters, or as longshoreman unloading ships. The Army (which included the Air Forces back then) were slightly more liberal, but not much. The result was that far more whites than blacks died in combat during WW2. By the Vietnam era, the armed services were completely integrated, so casualties were evenly distributed among the races.

Did Abraham Lincoln give rights to the blacks?
No- not really, He did issue the famous proclamation that freed the slaves in the seceded states, but that was pretty much the extent of the rights that he gave to blacks. But of course, he died just as the Civil War ended. He did not have any opportunity to deal with what rights should be given to ex-slaves beyond freedom to go where they wanted to go, and the power of the President to give out rights is quite limited.
