Utdrag ur New World Jewry 1493-1825: Requiem for the Forgotten
| “ | "They came with ships carrying African blacks to be sold as slaves. The traffic in slaves was a royal monopoly, and the Jews were often appointed as agents for the Crown in their sale. [...] They were the largest ship chandlers in the entire Caribbean region, where the shipping business was mainly a Jewish enterprise. [...] The ships were not only owned by Jews, but were manned by Jewish crews and sailed under the command of Jewish captains." | ” |
