What was the origin of the Black Cossacks?

Not Cossacks. This suits are of Caucasian origin, like most things the Cossacks are known for (their music, their dance, their weapons). The one on your pic is a former ottoman slave who got to Abkhazia.

Unknown, but possibly, they originated from the Turkish slave trade. They might have arrived in Circassia either by accident (a shipwreck), or purposefully, delivered there to attend to the fruit plantations of the place.

>Abkhazians of African descent are a small group in Abkhazia[1] of Black African descent who used to live mainly in the Abkhazian settlement Adzyubzha at the mouth of the Kodori River and the surrounding villages of Abkhazia (Chlou, Pokvesh, Agdarra, Merkulov, etc.) on the eastern coast of the Black Sea.[2][3] Like the Afro Turks, they trace their origin back to the African branch of the Ottoman slave trade.

>You are the proud Slavic guy from the Chechen thread. Why are you defending Slavs trying to be Caucasians?
Cossacks were the result of Slavs trying to be Khazaks hundreds of years before they were anywhere near the Caucasus. The name literally means Khazak.

The Cossacks are based on medieval Turkic equestrians, not Caucasians.

I found a bunch of photos of White people dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. This proves that the original Japanese were White until those damned Asians took over and covered it up.
