Eleanor Butler

 * ... that in 1681, a white woman married an African slave in colonial Maryland, even though she knew that doing so would condemn her to a life of slavery?



5x expanded by Eniagrom (talk). Self-nominated at 15:44, 24 June 2015 (UTC).


 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough (not really 5x, it is a new article, it just replaced a redirect), nominated within 24 hours. Long enough.  Is written in a neutral manner and each claim has an inline citation.  No paraphrasing or other copyright concerns found.  The hook is highly interesting and can be directly attributed to the first citation (although the article uses citation 3, which is offline to me, but undoubtedly good also AGF).  No QPQ require, as this is their first nomination.  No image to check against.  Interesting article, deserves mainspace exposure.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 17:27, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
