I am not sure that you found offensive about my post. Perhaps you should
read the following on slave hygiene to get a better feel for my point vis-a-vis
Mr. Jefferson and Ms. Hemmings:
The Health of Slaves on Southern Plantations (Louisiana State University
studies) by William Dosite Postell; and
(http://www.amazon.com/This-Species-Property-Culture-Galaxy/dp/0195022459/ref=sr_1_31?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210873126&sr=8-31) This Species of Property:
Slave Life and Culture in the Old South (Galaxy Books) by Leslie Howard Owens;
and
