They so wanted this to be some slave ship so they could continue to go on and on and on about their victimhood. Their ancestors were a disgrace for human trafficking their own people.
I haven’t seen AL.com run with this story yet. I guess it’s not part of their agenda.
Can you imagine? There would be a bazillion dollar extraction, transport, ship restoration and museum ASAP, with the Obamas and Oprah at the grand opening. All American school kids would be required to make a pilgrimage to see it.
I am somewhat surprised and pleased that they did not declare this wreck to be that particular ship, facts be damned. The historians must have been under intense political pressure. All one would have had to say was that it was possible (re. Sally Hemings), and it would have been trumpeted as a certainty!
These slave traders were Muslim conquerors doing what the Prophet instructed them to do. Today, Islam believes in Muslim Supremacy and Male Supremacy. The upend the Political Correct apple cart and the Left does not even notice.
