Who was York in the Lewis and Clark journey?

His name was York, and he was Clark's slave, willed to him by his father. He was born circa 1770 and he was born into slavery as both his mother Rose and his father York were already slaves of the Clark family. But Clark did not like to refer to him as a "slave", so in the journals he called him "my servant". The two men had grown up together, and Clark trusted him completely. York was tall, strong, a valuable member of the expedition, and devoted to Clark, who freed him when they returned to St. Louis. Subsequently Clark set him up in the draying business.

Can you pierce a hamsters ears?

No. It is cruel and unnecessary. Absolutely not! That would be cruel and selfish, not to mention incredibly painful for the hamster. A hamster's ears are so small that it would be difficult to do, and even more painful and difficult to put earrings in them. Doing this can also cause one who does this to be arrested and charged with animal cruelty, which is exactly what they would deserve.

Why did the slave traders try hard to keep slaves alive?

A slave is a valuable commodity in the mind of a slave trader, therefore a dead slave means a loss of capital. In the Transatlantic slave trade the slaves were purchased from the coastal tribes who generally captured people from the inland tribes. Even if a slave-trader captured slaves on his own, it would require money to pay the men to do the capturing. Then there was the expense of feeding a slave, which would lost money if the slave died. In the early days of the trade, there were no purpose-built ships so slaves were kept in large groups, but as sailing ships increased in speed they built ships where slaves could be packed into shelf-like bunks. They would try to quickly make the passage to the West Indies before muscles atrophied and too many slaves had a chance to die. In earlier times, especially at the height of the Roman Empire, slaves were generally spoils of war, and were not so valuable as there was no initial price paid for many them, and slavery was so common that slaves were quite inexpensive. Slave traders of that period were less worried about the health of their slaves, as life was far cheaper--unless the slaves were young and pretty girls or well-trained and -educated.
