Wow.
Some puritans owned slaves too. Several of my ancestral families in Massachusetts Bay Colony owned slaves. One of my distant great-grandfathers owned a company whose sole business was slave trade with Barbados. He and his fellow puritans considered themselves to be God's Chosen. I wish I could go back in time and slap the shit out of them.
