I know facts can be painful for you, but it is what it is. So before you state that Britain imported more slaves into America before independence, when in fact the opposite is true, i suggest you do your research before you post false information

Civil unrest.
heh.
There is nothing "civil" about toppling statues because some morons got offended.
Peaceful demonstrations and protests that abide by the law, such as the Women's March, do not constitute civil unrest. Civil unrest is typically defined by law enforcement as a gathering of three or more people, in reaction to an event, with the intention of causing a public disturbance in violation of the law. Civil unrest typically involves damage to property or injury to other people. Some examples of civil unrest incidents within the United States include

what one hunderd and fifty thousand after the the uk brought to their colonies in that time frame? notice the date on that graph is from 1761 to 1810, 15 of those years were british rule. and like i said they more than likely bought some of them from the british slavers.

I'll be honest here, the USA wouldn't be what it is (and I mean the good things, global superpower, largest economy, shining city on a hill) without slavery. Given that, I think slavery was OK for 1789... just being honest about how I view things. .

The outcomes of those cultures' actions and beliefs still impact us today.
We are talking about today.
Up to 1761 180.00 slaves imported into America. After 1761 320,000 slaves imported into America. Now tell me i am wrong that more slaves where imported after independence .

Get real. Are you seriously suggesting America imported more slaves in 15 years than in the previous 100 years ?
) Between 1525 and 1866, in the entire history of the slave trade to the New World, according to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, 12.5 million Africans were shipped to the New World. 10.7 million survived the dreaded Middle Passage, disembarking in North America, the Caribbean and South America. And how many of these 10.7 million Africans were shipped directly to North America? Only about 388,000. That’s right: a tiny percentage.

no you are, the U.S was not even a country in 1761, it was still part of the british empire until 1776.
there is no date to show when 1776 came on the column in relation to how many were imported.
there is no way to know how many of those 320,000 were brought here before 1776 by the British or U.S. after 1776 using that graph.

Can these things not be put in an Antebellum museum or something like that?
Not erased from history. Right there for people to enjoy if they wish but not in the middle of town or in government buildings.
What is so hard about that?
Hellz no
They need to be right out in the open so every time a certain demographic passes it it is an in your face reminder.
