The original price paid opened the opportunity for future generations to live free and to work for their children's futures. They were indeed, lucky. In the very least, fortunate. Shootie

My Great Great Grandfather, circa 1810, was a serf on a country Cork plantation in Ireland. A slave in America at the time had a shack to live in and a bed. My ancestor slept in the barn on a haymow. Somehow his son got enough money together to buy a ticket on a ship to Boston for his family. Once the ship was boarded the shipowner washed his hands of them. They got just enough food to make it to Boston. The slaves on the slave ship, contrary to the stories told by our liberal historians, were well cared for. The shipowner knew that the better shape they were in the more profit he would make when he sold them. We are being taught a phony baloney history of slavery.
