Perhaps.

But if by that you mean white people in general you're very much mistaken.

The ancestors you speak of were:

1. The equivalent of today's 1% who resided in the southern half of the USA prior to 1865 and who also owned slaves.
2. The whites who acted as middlemen in the purchase and sale of those slaves.
3. The whites who manned the ships that transported the slaves over from Africa.
4. Any other whites who somehow profited monetarily from the slave trade.

All told, those people accounted for a very small percentage of America's pre-1865 white population.

It is their descendants and their descendants alone that qualify today as "ones who's ancestors brought them over here".
