People don't realize whites were afraid to go past the beach. Blacks caught and sold other blacks to the slave traders. Slaves were held waiting for slave ships. The tribal slaughter continues to this day in Africa. Instead of selling their enemies they now just smack 'em with machetes.
Does anyone really think whites rowed ashore and went slave hunting? That would have been suicide.
