Sold down the river.

Misoprostol online no prescription and overnight Sometimes things strike you suddenly, after long delay.  I took a trip up the Mississippi, and saw a few plantations, among other things.  And here is New Orleans, one of the two great slave marts of America (the other being Charleston), at the very bottom of the river.  And I realized the origin of the phrase – that owners or overseers would threaten to sell disobedient slaves “down the river” – here where I am right now, or to plantations which raised cotton in the sweltering Delta heat.
