Accounts of forced dancing aboard slave ships

evidence

Captives were brought on deck and compelled to move for exercise, with those refusing flogged, the movement driven by a drum or iron kettle and sometimes a fiddle or an African-descended plucked lute. V55 verification basis: retrieved in search summary from secondary public-history sources; neither Falconbridge's account nor any parliamentary evidence volume was read, no passage is quoted verbatim here, and the practice's prevalence across the whole trade is not established.

A evidence is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
