Hi Ed! Really? African slaves were transported over at least three routes to countries OTHER THAN the US well into the 19th century and it may even be that the practice continues to a limited extent. It has also been my impression that the kidnapping was done by other Africans. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_slave_trade -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
