Once again read before you speak, we are not talking about what happened on the ships we are talking about on the established plantations. Most if not all of the ships were Northern owned or crewed. I would compare the illicit trade slave at that time since it was outlawed in 1807 to bringing illegal immigrants into this country in modern times who also seem to die off at an alarming rate.

When and if you do check your history, check also how many immigrants coming to the New World died on the voyage over, especially the children.

After reading most of your comments on the threads about the Civil War it is quite apparent that you basically only care to try and discredit the South instead of actually discussing history. You are quite consistant in this.

False. Most slave ships were flagged in Britain.

It sure didn't take much effort to prove you were lying about which armored divison broke into Bastogne.

Well, that is pretty easy, I will admit.

The rebels were --damned--traitors--every--one--.
