Hi all,

I've been visiting other historic sites as of late and have noticed the use of
the word "enslaved African-Americans" instead of just "slaves". Is this some
new PC thing going on? How does using the words "enslaved" differ from
"slaves". In addition, if the slaves were recently arrived from Africa, aren't
they technically just "African" and not really American yet?

Newspeak is truly upon us...

Deb
