Morago ga go tshwara batshwarwa ba bone malatsi a le mmalwa, batshwari ba ne ba pateletsa batshwarwa go saena setatamente sa gore ba tla tswa mo Louisiana ka bonako. Fa ba ne ba tswa mo kgaolong eo, bagolegwa ba basweu ba le barataro ba ne ba bolawa ke setlhopha sa basweu ba ba tshotseng dibetsa ba ba neng ba eteletswe pele ke Dick Coleman.

Kwa mafelong a mangwe kwa Coushatta le gaufi, Basweu ba ne ba tlhasela MaAforika a Amerika a le mantsi, mme seo se ne sa felela ka dintsho di le nne.
