Response...better late than never?
Although I found the article very interesting, I don't think it directly contradicts what we've been taught. The means as to how the slaves arrived in Virginia really seems like a minor detail when you look at the whole course that slavery took through history. It was pretty interesting to see the stereotype we as Americans have of uneducated African slaves; the idea of literal, Christian slaves probably seemed like quite a curveball to almost everybody that knows anything about history.
