mac_truck,

What you say is valid, but so is the information U S Army EOD, and AnAmericanMother have posted. Both have shown that they have an understanding of history that is not taught in today's liberal PC history classes. The reality is, that, as miserable as the conditions of those ships were, they were designed for human transport, and to bring as many of their human cargo here alive as possible to maximize profits. White slaves and indentured servants, had little monetary value, and often were treated much worse, and traveled on ships in conditions that equaled or surpassed that misery, if you can imagine.

Yep, black, while, yellow, or red back then, it was not good to be on the bottom of the economic ladder.
