Blacks built America.part four

They emerged in four continents built by profit from slave trade.For instance the entire new York that was begun by slaves market testified to the evidence of this fact."
"I think you narrated four to five cities now but you mentioned fifty cities now .Let me know their names.break it down."
"The cities spread from west Africa to the British isles with Liverpool,a shipbuilding town in England,also Bristol, Newcastle etc.France and Spain, Caribbean south and north America."
"So it was financed by Slave trade right?"
"Exactly.Other cities constructed by slaves include Amsterdam and Rotterdam in Hollands, Manchester and London in Engeland,Lisbon in Portugal and Nantes in France, Seville in Spain and Elmina in Ghana,Gorée and Darkar in Senegal,Lagos in Nigeria,Port Au prince,Santo Domingo,Nassau, Kingston and Havana in the Caribbean."
"What about Bahia?"
"Yeah Bahia,in Curacao,Rio de Janeiro,Porto de Santos,Porto de Paranagua and San Sebastiao in Montevideo in Uruguay,Buenos Aires,in Argentina,New Orleans, Philadelphia and Providence in North America."
"You have misgivings "
"No no except for Lagos.Lagos was formed in 1350 older than New York ndị it's wealth was diverted to build American cities and economy.You can get more from innumerable sources like the international museum of slavery founded by David Flemming in 2017.
The triumph of these cities propelled globalisation.U.S.entrepreneurs used proceeds from their cotton empire to build American cities and economy including modern industrial capitalist economy.
Likewise about fifty identifiable towns and settlements were built by black between 1865 to 1920.Some still existing at the dawn of twenty first century.All black towns grew in the indian territory after the civil war when former slaves of the five tribes settled for insurance and mutual connection."
"When did the indian freedmen chose land next to black Americans?"
"It was when the united states government forced the American indians to accept individual land allotments."
"Uhmmmmm "
"They created prosperous communities from farming, businesses,churches,media forming towns.They even advertised for south settlers and there was massive influx of African American settlers to Oklahoma  as a kind of promise land during the period.When more land was yet opened to more non indian settlement African American settlers rushed to the newly created Oklahoma "
"I know Langston at that axis"
"Good!Do you know E.P.McCabe,a former Kansas state auditor founded Langston "
"You mean it? Even Langston!"
"Yeah.He also founded Langston City Herald and widely circulated it and anticipated all black communities that failed to materialise.Still many all black communities evolved rapidly and prospered in that axis and after 1907 it became a state.
They lived from free racism and racial prejudice as found in the Midwest and South.The African Americans in this Oklahoma and Indian regions created their own identities and safer communities.Un the golden words of Arthur Tolson,a black pioneering historian in Oklahoma African Americans turned to self help ideology and racial solidarity and economic advancements."
"The list of towns please"
"As early as 1860s,in the indian territory,towns like Marshalltown, northfolk colored,Canadian colored, Arkansas colored,prospered.Others like Sanders,Mabelle,Homer,Wiley,Huttonvile,Lee and Rentie etcetera no long exist in the indian territory.Oklahoma towns that no longer exist include Lincoln,Cimarron city, Bailey,Zion, Emanuel,Udoras and Douglas .The survived towns includes Boley, Brooksville, Grayson, Clearview,Lima, Redbird, Langston, Tullahassee, Vernon,Taft and Tatum's, Summit and Rentiesville .Boley was the biggest and most influential and Booker T.Washington visited there twice and wrote a piece on paper Outlook magazine in 1908 .
