"My island was now peopled, and I thought myself very rich in subjects; and it was a merry reflection, which I frequently made, how like a king I looked. First of all, the whole country was my own mere property, so that I had an undoubted right of dominion. Secondly, my people were perfectly subjected. I was absolute lord and lawgiver, they all owed their lives to me, and were ready to lay down their lives, if there had been occasion of it, for me. It was remark-able, too, we had but three subjects, and they were of three different religions. My man Friday was a Protestant, his father was a Pagan and a cannibal. And the Spaniard was a papist. However, I allowed liberty of conscience throughout my dominions. But this is by the way."

    The only response was the screaming of other men, for I was not the only one in the midst of being captured. As the men grabbed my legs, causing me to fall to the sand, I could see other men being dragged along with me, all by the same group of men with whom I had shared dinner and to gave our belongings. They all had one destination – the rowboats. Once there, they tied us up and stuffed cloths into our mouths. They shoved us into the rowboats one by one, with no remorse whatsoever.

Those of racism towards an unfamiliar people, a sense of Heathenism assumed upon the Native American civilization, and the brutal savagery demonstrated against the peaceful Native American Indians of this "new world." In the brief account from a sympathetic eyewitness, we see these horrible prejudices manifested through raids and massacrers by a foolish fleet of explorers whom fate would have to land on an unfortunate tribe far devoid of hatred and war.…

At that time, many elite Africans visited Europe, including the sons of African nobility. Here, they must have witnessed the horrible nature of western slavery, but if they had, they certainly did not do anything about it. However, although evidence suggests that African lords simply lacked empathy for the men, women and children they sold into slavery, “Africa is a big continent, so one cannot assume that…all African chiefs were informed about the evils of slavery as practiced by the West” (The Role of Africans in the Slave Trade).…
