There is data and records of over 36k slave ship voyages from Africa to the Americas over the 350 year period. With an average of around 122 trips a year, this is not a wild number and it easily explains the ~12 mil number and includes the 2 or so mil lost in the voyages. https://www.slavevoyages.org/blog/methodology-trans-atlantic

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1843221742556488141

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
