In 1833, the schooner Lafayette left port in Alexandria, Virginia carrying 83 enslaved women, men, and children. All of them were recorded as cargo on the ship's manifest, pictured here. Although the Lafayette was bound for Natchez, Mississippi, the ultimate fate of its enslaved passengers is unknown. It is likely that most never saw their family members in Virginia again. Swipe to look closer and read their names.
What these women, men, and children experienced on the Lafayette had deep roots in our nation's history. Centuries before, on August 20, 1619, ships arrived in Jamestown, Virginia carrying kidnapped Africans. Their arrival was neither the beginning nor the end of the transatlantic slave trade. Between the 1600s and the early 1800s, more than ten million Africans were forcefully imported to the Caribbean and Americas. At least 388,000 were brought to the United States before U.S. law banned importation in 1808.
Within the United States, nearly one million enslaved Africans and African Americans were wrenched from their families in the upper South and transported by enslavers into lower South the as part of the domestic slave trade. The trade created enormous profits not only for Southern planters and slave traders, but also for Northern cotton-mill owners and investors.
Today, we're joining @nmaahc and other parts of the @スミソニアン博物館 to reflect on the historic anniversary of #Jamestown400 and to explore how people of African descent have shaped our nation since before its founding. #ANationsStory

Now explain how the Africans got in that situation in the first place. Oh you didn’t? They were “kidnapped” by rival tribes when their own was defeated or destroyed and sold to slavers. Yes we participated, but if it wasn’t for their brothers selling them in the first place, they’d never be in that situation to begin with. Tell the whole story or don’t tell it at all.

Saluting ALL DISTRICTS AND DIVISIONS of the US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS VERIFY with my editor Bill Decker @thedailyadvertiser in the morning. Check the archives. Perhaps my columns 4 still there and have not been tampered with. I had the lead editorial on the 1st anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon disaster which began on 4.20.2010

The slave trade started 150 years before the U.S. exited. Within 30 years of becoming a nation they made the importation of slaves illegal. 55 years later, slavery was abolished. It does take time but the U.S. does evolve and tries to do the right thing. 🇺🇸

Wow sounds like you're trying to match NYT 1619 articles.... Ya know the ones where the editor admitted in emails that they are trying to make it seem like everything in America has always been racist and voting out Trump is the only way to fix it.

When President Lincoln made the enslaved people free, why were they not reunited with their families between Mississippi and Virginia?
And why were they not returned to the countries of their birth?
