Slavery In America.

"One of the common, everyday CT TOTS which are taught in the schools in America is that which relates to the introduction into the western hemi- sphere of African slavery" writes a critic ''The school histories which the schoolgirl and schoolboy study say that it dates from 1919 or 1920. when a Dutch sea captain sold the English settlers the first African. The year 1501, however, is the date of the earli- est reference in American history to ne groes coming from Spain to America. 122 years before Albany. N. Y. was settled by the Dutch and 106 years be fore Jamestown. Va. was settled by the English. In 1905 King Ferdinand of Spain wrote to Orando. then govern or of Hispaniola, I will send more ne gro slaves. as you request In 151O fifty negro slaves were sent to work in the mines of Hispaniola. There is a record of King Ferdinand's response to request of Las Casas, bishop of La Conception. in Hispaniola, that more negroes should be imported He said. There are already many negroes on the island This was in the year 1514."
