Here is something to think about,

"African slavery was present in Europe before the discovery of America in 1492. Those same slaves could have been brought to America when the New World was discovered in 1492. Slavery for Africans in 1620 in Jamestown, although it resembled indentured servitude rather than chattel slavery. (Whites also were indentured servants.) Race-based slavery developed over the next decades. Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 declared the end of slavery, although it didn't immediately free any slaves. The end of American slavery is often dated June 19, 1865, when slaves in Galveston, Texas, finally learned that they had been freed. This date is often called, and celebrated as, Juneteenth Day."


Since there was no such thing as the UNITED STATES before 1776 and slavery ended in 1865. Slavery in the US had a span of 89 years. Not a lot more than a single lifetime. And we have paid reparations in the 10's of TRILLIONS of Dollars for more than 200 years.
