At the time these individuals were sold, slavery was legal. Therefore, even if you get past that fact, the only claims that exist are equitable in nature, which could only be raised by the slaves themselves. To suggest that people 180 years later deserve compensation for work they never did would set a precedent that would turn our courts on their head.
The Japanese
