Definitely something that needs to be taught, but the author makes an effort in some places to give names and be conscientious of their verbage, but not in others. They give names to two of the enslaved people on the ship who are later mentioned in the trial, but throughout the book calls them and others "slaves" rather than "enslaved". I feel, especially in a book like this, that wording distinction matters; what was done to them is not who they were.
