HOW AMERICAS FIRST SETTLERS INVENTED CHATTEL SL...

From New England and Virginia to New Spain and the current Southwest  North America's founding
householders - English and Spanish alike - took the limited European practice of coerced labor
and  over the course of two hundred years  transformed it into a depersonalized and brutal
chattel slavery unlike anything that had existed in Europe. What system of language and logic 
what visions of religious and civil society  allowed men who saw themselves both as Christians
and cultured humanists to dehumanize and enslave people whose cultures and accomplishments were
evident to nearly all? In this book we observe the progressive development of a mindset that
allowed the settlers to see both Native Americans and Africans as others who did not merit
human status.
