Tim,
This "first slaves" theme has taken some interesting twists, hasn't it? But
I am not certain the people forced into working agricultural fields and locked
up at night against their will would make much distinction between the fine
points of Spanish versus Portuguese versus English forced servitude. Deprived
of the rights under which they were born, shipped off to some place they did
not know, eating un familiar food, and treated as subhuman can make people
lose track of the fine points of the law. But I have passed your comments
along to Reekie.
