Over 302 years ago, William "Willie" Lynch a British slave owner from the West Indies wrote a letter to Colony of Virgina's slave owners when he got a whiff of how they were hanging their "valuable stock." Lynch explained to them that these people are of good economics which your loosing."You are not only losing valuable stock by hangings, you are having uprisings, slaves are running away, your crops are sometimes left in the fields too long for maximum profit, you suffer occasional fires, your animals are killed." Lynch noticed that there was a problem and told the men of Virgina that he had a sure way of controlling black slaves for at least 300 hundred years if not longer. He outlined a number of differences among the slaves which he took and made them bigger.
