 * What is the Purpose of this character assassination? Just because Hancock was an American with an English surname he must have been evil? 174.114.196.246 (talk) 19:45, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * We report what the sources say. Meters (talk) 21:29, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * "The conditions onboard the sloops transporting Acadians were abysmal" This is biased towards Acadian victimhood. 174.114.196.246 (talk) 22:28, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * You could basically describe the conditions of any ship in those day as "abysmal" and comparing them to slave ships is flat out hilarious. 174.114.196.246 (talk) 22:29, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * We're not comparing the conditions to anything, and the quote was not comparing them to modern ship conditions. It was comparing them to the conditions of a slave ship of the era. So yes, "abysmal" seems a proper description. Meters (talk) 23:37, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Even the mightiest ship of the line in that era was terrible to live in. Even if the Acadians left on their own ships, the conditions would still be "Abysmal". Also, Slave ships had people chained to small beds where they were not allowed to move around, does that sound like the conditions of the Acadians on those ships? 174.114.196.246 (talk) 23:51, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
