At this moment, I can see where that canal once existed.

In an hour, I will be down where sugar cane plantations once existed.

Both were bacj breaking work and the yellow fever and malaria did not give a damn what color you were.

I beg to differ regarding malaria.

Slavery is an evil that Judeo Christian Western Civilization has led the way in eradicating.

It is and was not a uniquely American institution where only Whites held Blacks in bondage.

Some of the the largest slave owners in the south were Black and lived in NOLA.

During some years of Cromwell's pillage of Ireland more Irish were sent to the Carribean as slaves than Africans.

Native Americans held other Native Americans.

The Cherokee were especially resistant to freeing their Black slaves after the war.

Let's not forget the Aztecs.

The Mexicans felt that the Native Americans made better slaves than Africans but they had a tendency to escape.

The mohammadens were some of the most prolific slave raiders and sent many Europeans into slavery.

At the time of the founding of the US there were more White Europeans and Americans enslaved in North Africa and the ME than there were Africans enslaved in US territory.
