Oversættelse af the american negro

The American Negro In 1620 the first Negroes were sailed to the State of Virginia on America’s east coast by Dutch merchants. In the 17th 18th and 19th century big cargoes of African Negros, men, women and children were sent across the Atlantic Ocean. Many died because of the inhumane conditions on board of the ships. The survivors were sold like cattle to white planter´s at auctions, where men often were separated from their wives and children. The strongest men and women worked in the tobacco-and cottonfields in the South and on the sugar mills on the Danish West Indies
