I completely understand the need to debunk disinformation and items falsely portrayed as factual.  However, this particular piece appears to be legitimately resourced and written to shed light upon historical activities based on the opinions and accounts of people who have expanded knowledge of, and or actual participation in the actual slave trade process.

Citations from legitimate sources unrelated to the author's bogus claim do not inherently make the author's bogus claim legitimate.
