Original Note:
While many signers of the Declaration were slave owners, they were not the enslavers. Africans who were brought to America as slaves were enslaved by other Africans and sold to Europeans. Also, the English colonists did not introduce slavery to America. https://www.history.com/news/american-slavery-before-jamestown-1619 https://www.britannica.com/topic/transatlantic-slave-trade https://research.cornell.edu/news-features/curious-history-slavery-west-africa
