Original Note:
The note about the role of American Jews in transatlantic slave trade refers to a conspiracy theory that has been debunked: https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/jews-and-the-african-slave-trade/. Furthermore, most Jews at that time were living as second-grade citizens in Eastern Europe/Russia, which never participated in transatlantic slavery https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/the-pale-of-settlement
