Unkotare drops by to offer us one of his articulate and on-point posts that proves once again he is being charged by the letter.I also don't get the title of this thread. I presume it's supposed to mean "Democrats", not "democrats", but the first African slaves in North America were brought here (by Spanish merchants) three hundred years before the Democratic Party ever existed and way before there was a country here, or even colonies, in the 1530s.
That story actually has a happy ending.--- the captives, about 150 Africans, overpowered their captors upon landing in what is now South Carolina, and escaped, never to be seen again, presumably integrating with and living with the Native Americans they found, which was then the only other population. The next ones would not be so lucky.
/--- thanks, I didn't know that.

Thanks for the thanks. I think it's vital to know what's back there.
I believe I first came across that story (and later confirmed via other sources) in a book called "Lies my Teacher Told Me". Which I highly recommend. [sic]
Too bad you didn't read a book about avoiding sentence fragments.
