EVEN IF the Wanderer was dixie-flagged (it wasn't), had an all dixie crew (it didn't)& never made port a single time except in dixie (that's obviously NOT true), the FACT REMAINS:

1.ALL or VIRTUALLY ALL of the US-flagged slavers were from the NORTH & the VAST MAJORITY of ALL SLAVE SHIPS, that brought slaves to the Americas, were specifically from New England.

2.you are desperately trying to run away from that UNcomfortable FACT!

3. your readers are, on the whole, NOT as dumb as you think they are AND

4. they KNOW that you are "speaking with forked tongue".

other than that, you're doing a really good job for the damnyankees.

ALL or VIRTUALLY ALL of the US-flagged slavers were from the NORTH & the VAST MAJORITY of ALL SLAVE SHIPS, that brought slaves to the Americas, were specifically from New England.

But that's not what you said. What you said, and I quote (with your peculiar punctuation intact) was, "FIRST, EVERY slave ship that was American-owned was from NEW ENGLAND." Now you are saying 'virtually all'. Are you retracting your original statement?
