“…Each case was diagnosed as TB using biopsy, smear tests and inoculation of guinea pigs. The ancestry of each individual was noted in Table 5 because the living standards in the United States at the time the studies were conducted (early 20 th century) were different for those with European compared with African-American ancestry [34]. It has also been noted that African-Americans as well as American Indians appear to have a higher risk of developing active TB than Europeans [35].…”

“…The largest sample of enslaved Africans that has been recovered to date is from the African Burial Ground from New York City, and tuberculosis is not reported by Null et al (2004) in their investigation of infectious disease markers. Pott's disease has been identified by Lambert (2006) from 19th century enslaved in North Carolina, and from free Africans from the 8th Street location of the First African Baptist Church cemetery in Philadelphia (Angel et al , 1987), but Rankin‐Hill's (1997) reassessment reported only a 4% prevalence in the latter. Similar, tuberculosis was reported in poorly preserved remains from a late 19th–early 20th century free population from Elko Switch in Alabama (Shogren et al , 1989).…”

“…Furthermore, as Blakey and Rankin‐Hill (2004) point out, sexual abuse and concubinage of domestic servants by white owners as well as sexual practices among the enslaved may have served to spread venereal syphilis quickly, especially in the Caribbean. Possible dental stigmata of congenital syphilis were identified by Lambert (2006: 115) for two individuals from a 19th century slave cemetery in North Carolina, and Rose reports high rates of congenital syphilis in the non‐white population at Cedar Grove (Rose, 1985: 138). Dental defects (Hutchinson's incisors) and frequent periosteal reaction in neonates both support this contention (Rose, 1985: 150).…”
