Your links clearly state that Hugh Glass was captured by Jean Laffite in 1816, forced to become a pirate for up to two years, then made his escape by swimming to shore near what is present-day Galveston, Texas. Jean Laffite and his brother "mainly acted as spies for Spain" during Glass's imprisonment. Only after Congress passed The Act of 1818 prohibiting the import of slaves into any port in the United States did Laffie become a slave smuggler by exploiting the loopholes of the poorly written law, which permitted the seizures of any and all slave ships on the high seas and the selling of the slaves seized from the said ships within the United States.You just made it abundantly clear that Hugh Glass sailed with the pirate Jean Lafitte as a pirate and was involved in the slave trade as one of Lafitte's pirates for about two years, Andy the Little Nazi Boy.
Thus the facts demonstrate that your frantic attempt to frame Hugh Glass as a "Yankee slave trader" is doomed to failure, Little Hans. Originally Posted by andymarksman
