Stephenson:Neal:Quicksilver:13:Some Irish, the rest Angolan... (Alan Sinder)

From the Quicksilver Metaweb.

A travel tired Enoch Root arrives in New York in time for a slave revolt. Some of the slaves were Irish, the rest Angolan. A global famine had started in 1707, forcing many luckless Irish into a life of slavery. One must think the decision of the Pennsylvania Assembly must have terrified many. Daniel Waterhouse also notes the rowing dirge of the slaves on the pilot boat contains Irish elements to it. Suspect the Barkers caused this New York city riot.
