 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, well sourced. Created just before being moved into main space and nominated for DYK. There's a whole section in the article on the slave sale, full of inline citations. It's interesting enough as I didn't know the Jesuits had slaves. QPQ done. No apparent concerns of close paraphrasing. Image is public domain as it is a work in the U.S. that is nearly 200 years old. Good to go. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:08, 7 February 2019 (UTC)
