Enslaved distilling labor
Locator and supporting passage visually checked against the rendered user-supplied PDF on 2026-08-27 after complete source review. September 29 audit: The quoted sale record at PDF44 is attributed in the bibliography (PDF289) to British House of Commons papers on slavery in the colonies (1826–1827). Its precise geography and original context remain unverified: do not silently relabel it Kentucky or United States bourbon labor, or infer prevalence. Source-fidelity verification is not independent archival authentication.
