Slavery

Recently the stark economic differences between black and white Americans are in the news as they should be if something is to be done about it. Many people feel this is the result of 200 years of slavery in the United States. If history could changed would it have been better if Africans were never brought here as slaves and the descendants of the slaves living here would be living in Africa. Africans did not have the wear with all to come here and only the slave trade made it possible. For most people in Africa today life is not very good. Some of the most helpful things for Africans were imported from the west especially in the area of medicine with AIDS and Ebola drugs as recent examples. African-Americans living in the US have access to many things that those in Africa do not. The average income in sub-Sahara Africa where most of the slaves came from is $315 per year.
