Subject: RE: BS: Apologies over slave trade?
...The thing is are the Africans going to apologize for their part in the enslavement of hundreds, if not thousands of Cornish people taken by force from their homes by the Barbary pirates to help build Moulay Ishmaels great palace back in the eighteenth century! Read Giles Miltons excellent book 'White Gold' and you'll see a different side of things!
