I was reading about some American Indian nations who had their equivalent of the death penalty. If you did some certain things you would be executed for it. And these same groups, if there was a horrible crime deserving of the death penalty, but they couldn't figure out who did it, they would choose the most useless person or the person everyone hated for being an ass, and use this as an excuse to get rid of them. The groups I was reading about who did that lived in what's now Louisiana.Yeah, I rarely hear it discussed, but...anybody selling their own people into slavery is going to sell the ones they want to see go. Since it was only physical qualities being purchased, the slave pool had to be big strong morons who were considered too dumb to be useful to the tribes, captive enemies, local troublemakers, etc. People who at best they could do without, and at worst, people they needed to get rid of.
They did not send their best. Which tbqh may explain why African immigrants seem to do just fine in the racist USA. Better stock, not the sort that got itself sold into slavery by its own countrymen.
