Good article. But I think 'owner' or 'master' would do better than 'overseer' -- which made me think they might have killed someone other than the master. I could be wrong, I don't think anyone will be offended by the use of this terminology; Slavery is wrong, and use of these terms does not legitimize slavery.

The language appears to be taken from the PBS documentary, and calling him the overseer probably means that he was just that--a foreman or plantation manager rather than the owner. --Serapio 01:12, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
