I suppose you were taught that the Thirteen Colonies were in California?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Silver War begin when the state of South Dakota left the Union? It was quickly followed by North Dakota, Wyoming, and Colorado, and the Indians were punished because they fought for the Union.
Can you find the United States of America on a map?
Another major American slaver was John Carter Brown - hardly a Jewish name - namesake of Brown University was a Baptist.
Sorry, wrong. John Carter Brown was not the namesake of Brown U- Nicholas Brown was. Also the Browns were hardly "major American slavers". They were minor players.
Liverpool coincidentally is home to Britain's oldest surviving black community and population. Most black Liverpudlians are descendants of blacks that came to Britain as far back as the 1500s and 1600s and in some cases even earlier back into ancient times.
But none of those blacks were slaves. Slaves went from Africa to the Americas. Liverpool's mayor was a slaver with a plantation in the Caribbean. The back men were men employed on ships and most went to Liverpool in the early 20th C. The same with the Chinese community which is the oldest in the western world.
People forget the black tribes who enslaved other tribes in the interior to take to the coast. Africans were involved. White men could not go into "darkest Africa" because of fever. Liverpool were the shippers - the transport. Liverpool's black community is very small. Liverpool is a very white city.
The most recorded and published songs in history? The second is Yesterday by Liverpolitan Paul McCartney. The first? By a man who worked on Liverpool's docks as an engineer, John Newton. He wrote Amazing Grace. He wrote it in a storm in a ship bound for Liverpool that nearly sunk. Newton was in the slave trade. The words, "I once was lost, but now I am found", it sounds like a man repentant of his ways. And Newton became a vicar. But he wrote Amazing Grace while continuing to be in the slave trade and was in the trade after being a vicar.
J Penny, had Penny Lane named after him. The Beatles wrote a song about the area. He was in the slave trade. Many streets in Liverpool are named after slave traders. However some of the leading lights in abolishing the trade were leading Liverpool merchants.
While the diagram of the triangle trade shows North America and the Caribbean as the destination of the African slaves, this table (from Wikipedia) shows the greatest percentage of slaves going to Portuguese America (Brazil).

The number of the Africans arrived in each area can be calculated taking into consideration that the total number of slaves was close to 10,000,000.

Every group of people has been oppressors and oppressed. Every group of people on earth has been enslaved and slavers of others.
As for the ancient Liverpool blacks, some blacks were used as slaves and servants in Britain and Europe. But yes many blacks were traders, seamen, sailors and traders. Not all blacks were slaves. And again, the Liverpool black community descends from as far back as 4 to 5 centuries and some cases even earlier.
