@@adrean3693 Those left behind and those sold were all victims of the traders. Some of the African traders were also sold once they became prisoners of war. The narrative that it was the continental Africans who voluntarily sold their siblings in the diaspora is part of the colonial narrative to absolve the perpetrators. The collaborators were equally guilty but the finger pointing was such a clever ploy to deflect attention. Don’t buy into it. Thanks.
