Alright. On to Cromwell. Surely he sold slaves. Surely there is documentation...Yes? NO.
You find out right lies. Here is one.
In 1742, a document entitled Thurloe's State Papers, published in London, opined that:
"..It was a measure beneficial to Ireland, which was
thus relieved of a population that might trouble the planters; it
was a benefit to the people removed, which might thus be made
English and Christians ... a great benefit to the West India
sugar planters, who desired men and boys for their bondsmen, and
the women and Irish girls... To solace them."(4)
Oh sure, I can find the document. But, not the text. Just made up, I guess. Total HOAX>
