The Europeans just purchased these slaves and shipped them to the Americas. Hence the large proportion of black Americans. NB Historically, there has never been a culture of slavery in Europe. The Slave Trade was just businessmen making a profit. NNB Great Britain passed the Abolition of Slavery Act in 1833, thirty years before the American Civil War.
