You arent the only one who was unaware of these things, I had never known of them until this thread.....I just looked it up and pretty fascinating......thats the good thing about discussions....learning. While obviously these manilla were not ONLY for slave trade, the presence of these particular examples found in waters where slave ships traveled in a location far from their origin suggests these were.
