It wasn't magic; it still isn't and it doesn't make a very good counter example. If my guide there was correct Jamestown was 40-50% black (read slave) and their were numerous indentured servants including many ex-prisoners (read Moll Flanders). I gather the ratios were worse down in the Georgia plantation. I may be wrong but I thought a number of moon-dwellers came down to earth for negotiations and did moderately well P.R.-wise. Americans always root for the underdog.
