#AmericaValue
found two ancestors in my family tree
a slave named America
and a slave named Africa
(no joke)
the slave America the property of one man
was charged with manslaughter
of the other slave Africa the property of another man
he had stabbed him with iron or steel
and struck him in the breast and the head with a stick
its master was heard in its defense
and after 39 lashes
he was discharged
what did America do to get off?
It doesn’t make sense.
