Sooner or later, all slaves offered for sale in the major new world slave markets during the 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th Centuries were sold. Unsaleable slaves, like those too old, sick, or in some way useless to a slave owner, were not offered for sale. They remained the responsibility of the current owner. None were killed because they were unsuitable for sale. This is a misapprehension. It should be noted that the great majority of African slaves during this four century period were imported into Brazil and the Caribbean. Very few were imported to North America. It should also be noted that many slave owners were people of color, especially in the Caribbean. People of partly African ancestry were the largest group of slave owners in Jamaica just prior to emancipation in 1832. Significant numbers of slave owners in Virginia were of at least partly African ancestry. And, of course, virtually all suppliers of slaves in Africa were African people from dominant tribes.
