Further, when the internal slave trade was ongoing (for 57 years) the largest market for slaves were plantations with huge mortality rates, particularly Sugar Cane fields in Louisiana. The owners of these plantations were not interested in particular attributes because the average lifespan of slaves on the plantations was about one year.
So, no. Even if there was some elaborate program to breed for particular traits, there wasn't enough time for such selection to become meaningful, and what selection occurred would've been rendered useless due to the economic dynamics of the slave trade within the USA.
Hope this has been informative.

I don't disagree with you. And, it is informative, so, you should quote the source if you found this on the web, or in a history book, because I disagree with whoever gave you this information. I read a paragraph of the wiki article, and, it did end in Britain in 1807, because, the Brits were just so noble that slavery was unacceptable and improper
Give me a break; it was no longer necessary or profitable due to the industrial revolution. I am not going to research, but, I do know that slavery in this country began about the time the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock; a little over a decade after the genius' who landed in Jamestown in 1607, expecting gold to be lying all over the beach, stopped starving to death and discovered another crop
Both tobacco and cotton were also very profitable, and, a big part of the southern exports; which also utilized slavery. I would imagine that when they put other human beings on those auction blocks, the more physically stout and fit probably cost more, and, may have been used as more than simply a years worth of labor. And, the 57 years is a bit off on the time frame for your argument. It was more of about 240 years, so there was time.
Quite frankly, it doesn't matter. The main point is the Jamie Foxx comment; which is asinine, and, just adds fuel to the race card in this world order of rat races. So, no argument here. You're right, but, it does allow for a good song from Two Gallants. They're white; read the lyrics
Well, the summer day make a white man lazy
Well, all I've ever known is poor
Owe my skin to the country store
Throw my walls, my roof, my door
But he tells me I'm free
But I fight the will to live
Hell might take but heaven gives
It's the only one so I'll forgive
And Im not the one to grieve
And the summer day make a white man lazy
He sits on his porch killing time
I gotta work to feed my wife and baby
I work so god damn hard that it's a crime
Well, I went down to the polling place
The white men there just laughed in my face
Saying boy, this ain't no ******'s race
You best get on your way
Sir, I believe I've got the right
Said you ain't got nothing if you ain't white
And I thought I said get out of site
Well, what was I to say?
And the summer day make a white man lazy
He sits on his porch killing time
I gotta work to feed my wife and baby
I work so god damn hard that it's a crime
When I was 'bout the age of five
Watched my daddy burned alive
They cut him low and they hung him high
Swayin' in the breeze
The last words I heard him say
Before they stole his life that day
Was forgive them lord, they gone astray
Now take me to my knees
And the summer day make a white man lazy
He sits on his porch killing time
But the summer day make a ****** feel crazy
Might make me do something out of line
Well, I don't know but I heard tell
Of a fungus below a place called hell
And who would catch me if I fell?
Who would pray for me?
But one thing I see for sure
It's hot as hell up here I know
And the devil lives right down the road
It's all the same to me
And a summer day make a white man feel lazy
He sits on his porch killing time
But the summer day make a ****** feel crazy
Might make me do something out of line
But if you should see my wife
Tell her that I won't be home tonight
So don't leave on the light
I got a little business down the road
And If I'm dead by sunrise
Kiss my baby girl for me
It ain't life if it ain't free
I've got a mighty burden to unload
