Original Note:
America was established in 1776, long after 1619. The claim “American” slavery lasted 246 years is false. The Portuguese controlled the trade until 1651 when the British and colonies took control. Start of American trade should be in 1776 when independence was gained. https://constitutioncenter.org/amp/blog/today-the-name-united-states-of-america-becomes-offici https://www.nps.gov/ethnography/aah/aaheritage/histcontextsd.htm#:~:text=The%20first%20130%20years%20the,in%20the%20early%2019th%20century.
