MDDM Ch. 62 Slavery

[jbor]

A couple of "alternative" perspectives on slavery, world history etc.

Stig: " ... the 'new' Continent Europeans found, had been long attended,
from its own ancient Days, by murder, slavery, and the poor fragments of a
Magic irreparably broken." (612.10)

Capt. Zhang: "If you think you see no Slaves in Pennsylvania, [...] why,
look again. They are not all African, nor do some of them even yet know,--
may never know, --that they are Slaves. Slavery is very old upon these
shores,-- there is no Innocence upon the Practice anywhere, neither among
the Indians nor the Spanish nor in the behavior of the rest of Christendom,
if it come to that." (615-6)
