they had guards to make sure the people didnt take their own lives, because it was so glaringly obvious death was better than the hell made real

I hope that helps you. I know when slavery was taught in school they really watered down the details.

I wish this surprised me, because it’s absolutely horrifying that there were so many people who didn’t lose a wink of sleep after cooking and eating someone capable of begging for their life

Your first one is about slaves as economic consumers, not canibalism. Your second is about natives eating slaves in: New Zealand, New Guinea, the Congo, and China Your third is about a single ship and a single crew accused of doing so (not proven) and self-admittedly focuses not on determining the truth of the matter, but on the process knowledge was transmitted and understood given the communication limitations You have given 0 evidence for systematic cannibalism in the American South

You at best googled it and did no research on the actual results, and at worse are intentionally lying

I looked into the sources someone provided and for that I deserve death? My entire statement was directed at those sources.

Source? I looked it up and found nothing. He died a horrible death, and was treated in an evil, condemnable manner. But I see nothing scholarly showing that.

You deserve death for perpetuating the idea that slavery wasn’t that bad because they could’ve been murdered. Slave cannibalism did happen when their owners starved.
