New York name is derived from a slave trader. It is named after the former duke of York,
James Stuart, who would eventually become King James ll. James formed the Royal
African Company (RAC), which eventually "became the largest single company involved
in slave trade," according to a 1999 UNESCO paper.

The RAC traded an average of 5,000 slaves per year from 1680-6, and a total of 30,000
from1680- 1700. The company remained in the slave trading industry until it moved to
trading gold dust and Ivory in 1731. The RAC was dissolved in 1752.

Now isn't this something??!! Now, a new crusade for you liberal thinking, horsecrap people who
want to change this and change that. Hell, go take your crusade to New York!!

And think, these people killed Elephants too!! My oh My!!

Ramifications for : New York Yankees! New York Giants!! New York Jets!!!

And get this: there were 3 states out of the original 13 that made sure right of secession
was understood and accepted......New York, Rhode Island and Virginia!! My Goodness!!

When other states joined Union back in that day, it was understood that every state did have
the right to secede.....Come on folks, get with the Program!! Hey, there were 5 or 6 Northeast
states that wrote up articles to secede before South ever did....my goodness!!
