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.

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.

Amazing! That would never slip past swedish censorship!

It isn't exactly shouted from the rooftops in the US. The present day
problems are not exclusive to blacks. Being on the tribal roll can have
distinct advantages particularly with the tribes that run casinos. In this
area Métis have the same problem. Indians are as racist as whites so the
half-breeds don't get on the rolls and they may not be accepted by the
whites either.
