Allan W. Eckert Quotes

In Spite Of These Disasters, Some Of The Tribesmen Continued To Fight For Their Territory, But They Were Quickly Overwhelmed And Taken Into Captivity, Placed Aboard Ships And Sold As Slaves In The West Indies. At The Same Time The Whites Were Bringing To America Their Own Slaves Whose Skins Were Black. The First Shipments Of These Unfortunates Were Brought To Jamestown For Sale By The Dutch In 1619. Within Two Decades The British Realized What A Lucrative Trade Slavery Was, So They Ousted The Dutch Slave Traders And, In 1639, Established Their Own Royal African Company To Make Massive Raids On The Native Villages Of The Dark Continent And Bring The Chained Captives To America To Satisfy The Ever-growing Demand For Slave Labor.6 In All Such Matters, The Human Cruelty Inflicted On People Of Either Red Skin Or Black Was Of Precious Little Concern To The Imperious British.
