Jordan, come over here and help me
Okay. So mom, where did all the slaves go that survived the Middle Passage?
Well, that's a long answer, baby
Um, basically, they go to one of the major slave port cities in the Caribbean or the Americas like Charleston, South Carolina or Baltimore, Maryland
Mm
You've been to some of these places
Yeah
Uh, Havana, Cuba, Caracas, Venezuela, San Juan, Puerto Rico, Port Royal, Jamaica, Rio de Janeiro in Brazil
Mm
Actually, 40% of all the slaves that survivеd the Middle Passage wеnt to Brazil. Isn't that crazy?
Really?
That's almost half, so you probably have family there, ha-ha-ha! Hand me that?
Amongst other places, um, so, yeah, we're basically everywhere, baby
