So Adam, your 'guess' about North American slavery's 'collapse' pretends that the hundreds of slave revolts- from Stono to Nat Turner to Toussaint- never occurred?


You wilfully ignore the fact that the Negro slavery and the slave societies it engendered were in themsevles 'hellish abuses', notwithstanding the 'statistical distributions' of particular instances of somewhat less hellish treatment?


I don't envy your students!
