Response........

I fell that this article gives insight to what really happened to the slaves and what they were like. I didn't know that they came over on a Portuguese ship, because I always thought, like the article said, that they came from the West Indies. It's nice to know that we are still investigating what actually occurred, even though it some 400 years ago. I also wasn't aware that the Africans were literate and Christians. I didn't know that the pirates came near North America and definitely not that they were involved slave trading near North America. This is all contradictory to what I learned in elementary and middle school.
