Did slavery bring African-American into the orbit of Western Freedom or not?

Hypotheitical points do not equal reality. Africa is what it is now and so is the West. Africa was primarily colonised long after the British Empire banned slavery and it's trade within it's realm. The American never colonized africa. Though former slavs did come back to make Liberia.
