Native settlements were usually organized around political, economic, or religious activit
Another thing that has me curious is to see what economic political and religious activities were most prominent? Some explorers were Christian but among the Natives I would be interested in knowing more about their practices. I truly believe in knowing both sides of history and I think this applies to this. John White going in to a new area, the reader knowing more about the Natives practices would help us empathize and see it from a new perspective. Both sides need to be treated accordingly.

This part of a sentence may not seem too significant by itself but the year and the number of enslaved is highly important. Knowing when slavery took place is super relevant. on the other hand, knowing that 609 enslaved Africans is what a ship could carry at a time truly puts things in perspective. This shows how bad slavery could be when used to its fullest worst potential. Slavery was horrible and unfortunate affected many people.

The Brookes print dates to after the Regulated Slave Trade Act of 1788, but still shows enslaved Africans chained in rows using bilboes, which were iron leg shackles used to chain pairs of enslaved people together during the Middle Passage throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
To me this sentence is a good definition to give information on what slave ships were like. Knowing what the Brookes were like and the trade act can be important to help better understand slavery. When reading through knowing about the iron leg shackles helps put things in perspective. Slavery was horrible and reading definitions or better explained sentences helps to better grasp what took place.
