mandingo fighting historical accuracy section i don't understand this i've read the same review in a number of places which suggests slaves weren't organised to fight each other from one professor's comment that they never heard of it yet information about the fighter tom molineaux suggests this did happen it seems a clear contradiction i can understand if there was absolutely nothing to suggest it ever happened which still wouldn't mean it didn't but there is an example of it happening there are a number of news articles stating that molineaux won his freedom through fighting other slaves
