Is Voat a fed nest?
Very possibly. Particularly in the system subs where brigading is possible. But this sub is an oasis from it. Their downvotes will have no effect on your CCP here.
We reserve the right to ban anyone we deem to be disruptive without notice.
If you are observed calling another poster Jewish on Voat you will be banned in this sub.

By all accounts, North America only imported 388,000 Africans for slavery.
By the Civil War their number increased to around 1 million through breeding.
If an 1860's passenger ship could carry 800 people it would take approximately 1,250 trips with each ship taking approximately 5 days to arrive. 10 ships, 120 trips, 240 weeks or roughly 5 years. NO PROBLEM.

So roughly two to three decades in Washington time.

No. That time is estimated by 1860 standards. It took passenger steamships 5 days to traverse the Atlantic and an average sized ship could hold 800 passengers in steerage.
