Historians have written expansively about the slave economy and its vital role in early American economic life. In Dark Work; Christy Clark-Pujara tells the story of one state in particular whose role was outsized: Rhode Island. Like their northern neighbors; Rhode Islanders bought and sold slaves and supplies that sustained plantations throughout the Americas; however; nowhere else was this business so important. During the colonial period trade with West Indian planters provided Rhode Islanders with molasses; the key ingredient for their number one export: rum. More than 60 percent of all the slave ships that left North America left from Rhode Island. During the antebellum period Rhode Islanders were the leading producers of “negro cloth;†a coarse wool-cotton material made especially for enslaved blacks in the American South.

I was a crew cheif ofone of the H-5 helicopters calle triple nickle because the last 3 tail numbers was 555. I served from November1950 to April 1951. I think there could be a lot more said about this group. There are a lot of men around todaythat would not be here if it were not for Detachment F men and Helicopters.rd+1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
