Come on folks. Were any of us there as they loaded the ships with potential slaves? Who wrote down the events that went on back then? So that we can have the ACTUAL, information as to the education and background of the actual men, women and possibly children, that were chosen to be taken on slave ships?
I personally hate the idea of slavery. And I believe the true stories of actual slavery should be taught in history classes. But all of the truth. Not just the bad, but the positive as well. Why is it hard to think, that a person that was raised in a village, in a twig and grass hut. Wouldn't want to go, to amother country, where he was promised work, a chance for a future without ultra poverty and backwards living.
And I have to say. I'll bet some slave owners were kind to their slaves. It's hard to believe that, every farmer, rancher, business owner was mean to their slaves. But I wasn't there. As I'll bet neither were any of you.
