ORIGIN OF SLAVERY.

Mr.. BANCROFT, IN his first volume Of
his History Of the United States, gives.
an account of the early traffic OF the
Europeans in slaves. In the middle,
ages the Venetians purchased white
men, Christians and others, and sold
them to the Saracens in Sicily and.
Spain. In England the Anglo Saxon
nobility sold their servants as slaves to.
foreigners. The Portuguese first inn
ported negro slaves, from Western
Africa into Europe, in. I42. Spain
soon engaged in the traffic, and negro
slaves abounded in some Of the places
in that kingdom. After America was
discovered the Indians Of Hispaniola
were imported into Spain and made
slaves. The Spaniards visited the
coast Of North America and kidnapped
thousands OF the Indians whom they
transportedsinto slavery in Europe and
I the West Indies. Columbus himself
kidnapped 500 native Americans. and
sent Item into Spain, that they might
he publicly sold at Seville. The
practice Of selling North American
| Indians into foreign bondage continued
for two centuries. Negro slavery was
| first introduced into America by Span
| ish Shareholders, who emigrated with
their negroes. A royal edict of Spain
authorized negro slavery in America in
1913. King Ferdinand himself sent
from Seville fifty slaves to labor in the
mines. In 1881 the direct traffic in
slaves between Africa and Hispapioln
was enjoined by a royal ordinance.
Las Gasas, who saw the Indians vanish
ing away before the cruelties Of the
Spaniards, suggested that the negroes
who alone could endure severe tolls
might be further employed. This wa
lin 1913. .=:.s=.- : : .:= !: ..:. :.
4 Sir John Hawkins was the frs
Il Englishman that engaged in the slave
trade. In 1852 he transported q larg'
4 cargo Of Africans to Hispaniola. Ii
8 1861 another expedition was prepared
i and Queen Elizabeth: protected AM
shared in the traffic. Hawkins, in ON,
of his expeditions, set ire to an Afri
can city, and out Of three Thousand
inhabitants succeeded in seizing tw,
!. hundred and sixty. James Smith, O
Boston, and Thomas Keyscr, frs
} brought the colonies to participate il
slavery. In 1854 they imported a Car
go Of negroes, Throughout Massa
! chusetts the cry Of justice was raise
against them as malefactors and muir
derers: the guilty men were committe,
> for the offense, and the representative
of the people ordered the negroes to b
! restored to their native country at tn
public expense. At a later period
. there were both Indian. and !: negr
slaves in Massachusetts,. In 1920
! Dutch ship entered James river, an
: landed twenty negroes for sale. Thi
/, was the epoch of the introduction Q
slavery in Virginia. For many year
, the Dutch were principally concerned
