They didn't mostly end up in the colonies that became the USA, that's probably why.
But Alex Hamilton might been the son of one of those who were transported to the Island as a slave.
The Scots and even more the Irish were treated horribly by their British masters.
While you were reading about slavery, what did they tell you about so called indentured servants?
They were basically nothing but white slaves, too, ya' know.
Most early stock Americans of English, German, Scots and Irish decent are probably also decended from people who were basically little more slaves for the Anglo aristos which basically controlled the colonies from the getgo.
I have read some in my sociology class, this book I had to read for another plus some of my ancestors were some of them. But if you know any good titles let me know.You happen to read anything about the millions of Irish slaves the Brits shipped to the islands?
That's one of history's greatest seldom told crimes against humanity.
I bet that was interesting! Did it talk about how he shot into the air because by the time him and Burr were in their duel it was more for show and then Burr shot him. Burr was one crazy fool. Maybe that is what happened with Cheney! jkMy husband read Ron Chernow's Alexander Hamilton and it wasn't mentioned that his father might have been a slave. It did mention that there might be a Jewish influence in his family.
You're using the term, "slave" rather loosely. An indentured servant wasn't a slave for life while a slave was expected to be slave for life as well as his children.

I'm sorry to say it's the Encyclopedia of Furniture Making by Ernest Joyce.
But because I'm doing a lot of driving at present, I'm also listening to Huckleberry Finn on audio CD. Does that count?
Currently reading two books. Fountainhead by Ayn Rand and Lies My Teacher Told Me by James W. Loewen.
I was excited about reading the Loewen book, but I'm starting to think he is an America hater based on his writings about Christopher Columbus and the Pilgrims.
Do you honestly make your own furniture and of course the cd's count. I do that to when we are traveling on the road. We listened to Salem's Lot by Stephen King.
have you ever explored the connection between Lovecraft's Cthulu and the Conan books?
Many authors have used Lovecraft's writings for inspiration, King ripped most of his stories from Lovecraft almost directly. I haven't read Conan (they don't interest me, too much goody goody crap).
Lately, I've been on a non-fiction spree.
Now I'm reading The Blooding by Joseph Wambaugh. It tells the story of the discovery of genetic fingerprinting by scientist Alec Jeffrey. It's well-written and there's never a dull moment in the book.
