And this is why.

Imagine you're on a sugarcane plantation in the Caribbean. You need a machete to cut sugarcane.

You're gonna hand 100 ppl that you're supposedly keeping under oppression machetes?

Or at the very least a massive exaggeration. Relocating 12million people to another continent with 1700's tech and logistics does not sound plausible. I don't think we could even do that today if we wanted to.

I do believe some Africans were imported, but far less than we are lead to believe and under much more nuanced circumstances than the modern narrative expresses.
