Wall Street was a slave trading marketplace and a securities trading site (random reading)... 

Not that important to me but really surprising how much Dutch influence and involvement everywhere.

Anyway theses sentences struck me as surprising....

" Wall Street was a slave trading marketplace and a securities trading site "
