TWENTY MILLION?So having kidnapped and enslaved TWENTY MILLION people, you want someone to thank you for having stopped?
You made that number up!
Nope. It's the estimate from 'The Slave Trade' by Hugh Thomas - including all black slaves purchased by slave traders. Of those, around 12 million crossed the Atlantic.
The Portguese alone shipped 3.85 million people, largely to Brazil.
