Answer:
The general consensus is that 12.5 million slaves were bought and shipped from Africa.
Explanation:
In the 16th century, European merchants began the transatlantic slave trade, purchasing and shipping enslaved Africans from West African kingdoms to Europe's colonies. This trade lasted approximately from 1526 to 1867, a horrifying 341 years of slavery. In that 341 year timespan, it is estimated that around 12.5 million slaves were shipped from Africa; roughly 10.7 million arrived in the Americas.
The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, ratified in 1868, granted citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States—including former enslaved people—and guaranteed all citizens “equal protection of the laws.” One of three amendments passed during the Reconstruction era to abolish slavery and establish civil and legal rights for Black Americans, it would become the basis for many landmark Supreme Court decisions over the years.
In its later sections, the 14th Amendment authorized the federal government to punish states that violated or abridged their citizens’ right to vote by proportionally reducing the states’ representation in Congress, and mandated that anyone who “engaged in insurrection” against the United States could not hold civil, military or elected office (without the approval of two-thirds of the House and Senate).
It also upheld the national debt, but exempted federal and state governments from paying any debts incurred by the former Confederate states.
