Quotes: In 2001, for example, cash and in-kind transfers together accounted for 77.8 percent of the economic resources of people in the bottom 20 percent. The alarming statistics so often cited in the media and by politicians count only 22 percent of the actual economic resources at their disposal. Three-quarters of those Americans whose incomes were in the bottom 20 percent in 1975 were also in the top 40 percent at some point during the next 16 years. As of 2001 a household income of $84,000 was enough to put those who earned it in the top 20 percent of Americans. A couple making $42,000 each is hardly what most people would consider rich. Even to make the top 5 percent required a household income of just over $150,000 – that is, about $75,000 apiece for a working couple. Among individuals who are actively in the labor force, only 5 percent of those who were in the bottom 20 percent in income in 1975 were still there in 1991, compared to 29 percent of those in the bottom quintile in 1975 who had risen to the top quintile by 1991. North Africa’s Barbary Coast pirates alone captured and enslaved at least a million Europeans from 1500 to 1800, carrying more Europeans into bondage in North Africa than there were Africans brought in bondage to the United States and the American colonies from which it was formed. The percentage of black families with incomes below the poverty line fell most sharply between 1940 and 1960, going from 87 percent to 47 percent over that span, before either the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and well before the 1970s, when “affirmative action” evolved into numerical “goals” or “quotas.” While, in the late twentieth century, an absolute majority of those black families with no husband present lived in poverty, more than four-fifths of black husband-wife families did not. From 1994 on into the twenty-first century, the poverty rate among black husband-wife families was below 10 percent. Educational and intellectual performance is a readily documented area where the persistence of culture can be tested. As late as the First World War, white soldiers from various Southern states scored lower on mental tests than black soldiers from Northern states. As far back as 1980, college-educated black married couples earned slightly more than white college-educated married couples.

This book traces the beginnings of the use of ships in the transportation of slaves to its inevitable end. The book starts by giving some short stories of what life was like aboard ship. The next couple of chapters gives a detailed desciption of the African contient and the tribes that existed in the main slave trading ports. These chapters are quite difficult to get through and will prove to of little interest to the average reader. The book does do an admirable job in describing how the African tribes feuding with each other and looking for trade goods were more than willing to enslave their own kind. The author goes into great detail on the life aboard these ships. He tells of the absolute rule of the Captain and the abominable conditions that existed aboard ship for both sailor and captive. The captives were crammed into small spaces with little or no sanitary conditions. They would be beaten, sometimes killed, and thrown overboard. Families were separated with no effort to keep them together. There was an incredible amount of money to be earned in the slave trade. Most of the money was split between the Captain of the ship and the person who backed the venture. The book also explores why the slave trade came to an end, and the people who continually pressured the captains and slave traders to discontinue this practice. These people took their cause to the public by distributing copies of a slave ship detailing the horrific conditions on the ship. There is some very good information in this book and should be of interest to anyone who likes history.
