Ummm Kirk!
I dont think that any one here has said diffinatively that it is a proven
fact.
How ever the statistical probablity is extremely high. Is that how you
see it,
Or do you have a problem with that. there are some facts that have not
been presented that should be considered. 1. is that many of the slave
owners had relations with there slaves! In fact if was frowned on for any
one else to have a relationship with a slave with out the owners
permission as that slave was his property and any one else could be held
liable.
does that help to firm up some of this as a extremely high fact for you!
