      I’m…not sure that counts.

          It wasn’t a “book”. It may have had many books written on it but that wasn’t the original statement.

              That was not the point I was making so it doesn’t matter.

                  Usually you think of the extermination aspect, but yes there was some. But my point was that responding to me saying another book containing slavery with a historical event was kind of unusual. There’s been books written on it for sure by it’s mostly unrelated.
