I read the Americans and the Zinn book...in high school. They are exceedingly well written, contain a lot of information, and in the Zinn case at least, have such a bias that what information it does have is almost unusable.
Did you read this book or just copy and paste from Amazon? Yet again Colonels posts are all hot air

The slavers were all about money, and any ship that would have allowed 3/4 of the slaves to die would have been sold into slavery itself. If you got this from Zinn, its wrong, as are many statistics from that book. Just admit that you were wrong
