Southern Baptist Slave Trade Experience

I found myself enthralled about the slave trade. I was taken aback by the grand amount of slaves that were taken from their homes. It was amazing to find out how many days a voyage lasted. I thought a 7-10 day cruises would drive me crazy and wanting dry land. I can't even imagine what it must have been like. To be put together like sardines in a can for about 80 days over rough sees. I was also surprised the the America's did not have the highest numbers. I also found it very said to see how many people did not make the journey and actually died aboard those ships.

Now, for the awakening, I found it very interesting to learn about the Southern Baptist faith as I am originally from Kentucky and both my parents were raised as Southern Baptist.
