America wouldn't be America. It would probably be just like Africa.

are we just flipping the color of the skin around and keeping the history the same? as in now Europe is/was black and Africa is/was white

or are you saying that Africa beat Europe to America and colonized, then started to bring slaves over from Europe?

The country would be like Mexico. With such a small percentage of whites as slaves and the fact no one would immigrate here the white race in America would have been bred out

I don't see Black America going to war with itself to end white slavery. But hey, maybe I'm just racist.

The best answer is to look at other countries where blacks are the large majority and where whites are a very small majority.

All of those countries are hell-holes run by corrupt regimes.

They can't run a McDonald's kitchen, what makes you think they could run a plantation?

Are we still the majority population in this scenario?

What's the racial makeup of England, Europe, and Africa?

What type of government structure is in place?

Was there a Civil War?

How is the country divided? Tribes?

So many questions...I need a complete cultural breakdown of what you are trying to create here, so even Strongsafety can understand.

By the early 19th century, prior to the Barbary Wars, the Ottoman Empire banned slavery of Caucasians. Slavery of Africans was allowed, as long as they weren't Christian, Jewish, or Muslim.

Basically this. With several centuries of legalized slavery, followed by civil war, followed by the freeing of the white race. Do you see the subsequent history from this point being:
• Pretty much the same
• Quite different
• Other

Sooooo, you just reversed the skin color, and ALL OF HISTORY is exactly the same.

That's the dumbest shite ever on this board. Have a down vote.

If Africans had settled America and developed the government, then the country would most likely be a socialist dictatorship. So, pretty much just like the Obama administration.

No. The only replicated history is:
• Black enslavement of whites
• Several centuries of legalized slavery
• The eventual prohibition of slavery and freeing of the white slaves

From that point, the history is yours to conjure.
