people will say that no there where no slaves on the mayflower or any other ship that came over. But to those people I ask why is it that when the settlers did come over to america that the native americans already spoke english?
WHy is it that my ancestors "quote unquote" are Irsih but they are listed on the DAWES rolls as being native americans. This is because the explores came over here took the native americans as slaves back to England and Ireland and Scotland and sold them as "slaves". If your looking for a "slave" on one of these ships look at www.archives.gov under the dawes rolls and see if your ancestors are listed there I would bet anything that they are.
