T. It was because, if we look solely at it's impact on today's world, it brought large numbers of black Africans to the Americas where they know number in the millions. So, instead of their being a relatively tiny number of black African descended people in this hemisphere - probably would be even less than the number of Arabs in this hemisphere otherwise - there are millions. In the long run, a huge win for the modern black in the Americas. ESPECIALLY the modern black in the US. Had their ancestors not been enslaved and brought here, they would be living in west Africa - a terrible place by any measure. Or, they would not exist as people because, having been brought here, they were able to expand their numbers IMMENSELY across these 2 continents, something west Africa would simply not have afforded them the luxury of doing. Not enough space or resources there. No one wants to hear it, but because of the awful things that happened to their ancestors, they are infinitely better off. As EVERY people suffered slavery, black Americans (I mean those in the USA here) benefitted the most, by far, of other previously

Explanation:

Massacre: an indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of people.

“an indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of many people” Many is of course “A large quantity”. So there we have it, certainly more than a couple but if it gets to be say 100,000, which is definitely a large number, I suspect that might be encroaching into the realms of genocide.

OK so if you happen upon a car crash and there are bodies spread over the scene, 2 from each of the 2 cars, then you would immediately spot, just by looking there were 4 people involved, but if it was a pair of coaches each with 52 passengers and they were all spread around the scene you wouldn’t be able to put a number to it by just sweeping your eyes across the mess, perhaps then it is getting to be a massacre. Could that be a useful definition? If the number slaughtered is more than you can estimate merely with a look? I also think it needs to be within a definable area, like a football field, or a stadium or perhaps a town. If it involved a whole region of a country then it becomes Genocide, maybe.

Could it be then The indiscriminate and brutal slaughter of more people within a definable area than you can estimate readily with a sweep of your eyes.

Just a suggestion, so go gently on me ………….
