Slavers abducted the ancestors of the Black population from their native Africa, and subjected them to slavery in the US. No doubt, slavery was a terrible institution and should be abolished.
Viewing the whole affair retrospectively, however, becoming a slave in the US was actually a benefit for the Africans. Their life in Africa might have been better than life in slavery, but slavery came with long term benefit. To see the benefit, compare the quality of life that an average African American enjoys in US to that enjoyed by an average person in sub-Sahara Africa.
