I don’t know about this particular ship, but in the 17th and 18th century, Sub-Saharan Africans who refused to convert to Islam were sold as slaves by invading Arabs and other Islamic peoples...........................Why so many American blacks want to convert to Islam is a puzzle..................
Good points!
Thank you for reminding me

“Islam does not prohibit slavery but retains it for two reasons. The first reason is war (whether it is a civil war or a foreign war in which the captive is either killed or enslaved) provided that the war is not between Muslims against each other - it is not acceptable to enslave the violators, or the offenders, if they are Muslims. Only non-Muslim captives may be enslaved or killed. The second reason is the sexual propagation of slaves which would generate more slaves for their owner.”

It is not so much of a puzzle if one considers the Bell Curve and the nature of the average intelligence of each of the races. I don't understand how the Chinese were so manipulated from past the Civil War until the turn of the century as their intelligence would have stopped the Californians from abusing, killing and using them as they did. The history of the Californians abusing the Chinese exceeded that of the blacks in the South IMO.
