Slavery Roots Traced From Spain to English Colonies
A long, fragmented account recounts early slavery in Europe and the Americas. It cites Spain’s royal edicts in 1508 and 1518, Portuguese and Dutch roles, and English figures like Sir John Hawkins and James Smith, with Massachusetts and Virginia links. It mixes dates, places, and names in a dense timeline of slave trade history.
