Worse than slavery

In the early days of our country (1550 to 1850) about 650,000 Africans were brought to the US as slaves. These eventually grew into about 4.5 million. In 1865 slavery was abolished as a result of the civil war. To put this into perspective since Row v Wade in 1973 made abortion legal there have been 52 million abortions and 40% of those were African American. This means that over 20 million potential black babies were aborted which is 4 times the number of black slaves at the peak.
