Pictures changed, November 2011[change source]

I just changed most of the pictures, including the one that DoSazunielle added some hours ago. The pictures I replaced, File:1670_virginia_tobacco_slaves.jpg and File:Planting_sweet_potatoes,_james_hopkinson's_plantation.png, just show people at work, the horrors of slavery are not visible. In reality, slavery was much more brutal. I also removed the table of destinations of enslaved Africans in the Americas, since the article is about slavery in the U.S., not in the whole of North and South America. @DoSazunielle: a better version of the picture is available at File:James Hopkinsons Plantation Slaves Planting Sweet Potatoes.jpg. --Rsk6400 (talk) 14:49, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
