Columbus returned to the Americas in November 1493 with 17 ships and 1200 colonists. In February 1494 several dozen Carib captives were put aboard the first returning ship to Spain. The elimination of much of the indigenous population through genocidal destruction led to the beginning in 1505 of the shipping of Africans to be used as slaves in the Americas. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation are people who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning.

It never did and never will. People might not get all that they work for in this world, but they must certainly work for all they get.
