I don't think anyone is saying that whites are innocent of their accusation. Rather people are saying that the main proponents of slavery were Jewish which is something that is virtually never acknowledged or talk about despite it being proven as fact from ship's logs and record keeping from that time.

US slave census tracts show that the 16 largest slave holders in the US in 1860 were Anglo Saxon Whites, not Jews.

None of the founding fathers were Jewish, yet many of them had slaves, and in fact Thomas Jefferson himself interbred with his.

In 1808, the importation of slaves stopped, meaning Jewish ship owners were no longer responsible for the growing number of slaves in the US.

Andrew Jackson was a slave trader himself who hated the Jews.

So how can you say Jews were the main proponents? And why didn't whites stop them?

I don't have the information in front of me but someone else could probably provide it, however, it is indisputable that Jews played a large role in the African slave trade. I don't think anyone is trying to argue with that white people were not guilty of being a large part of it either. I think the point being made is that it was not only white people, it was Jewish people as well however they are never mentioned as they should be.

Cause it wasn't just about slavery.

It was about State vs Federal power.

South felt they were not being well represented in Federal Government.

Thanks to the 3/5 compromise, Southern states were actually overrepresented in the Federal government. They considered blacks to be non-human, yet still got to count 3/5 of them as "citizens of the electorate", giving them an increased representation in Congress.
