During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there was a significant
demand for labor in plantations across the Americas and on islands
such as Mauritius and Réunion. This demand fueled a slave trade that
affected many African communities. While much of this trade involved
individuals from coastal regions or areas further north, it also
extended into southern Africa.

With a whole continent full of indigenous labor they imported Africans.
The truth is while the Cherokee didn't have a problem enslaving people
from other tribes they saw the value of buying Africans instead. When
they headed to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears they took their African
slaves with them.

Really? So indians bought negro slaves? Had no idea! In europe, indians
can do no wrong, and their history is held up as a paragon of
eco-friendly and just, which was crushed by the bad white man.
