Notes

Following are rough notes of Landers' commentary, taken by Stuart Maxwell on June 18, 2004.

Landers was responding to the following speeches:



  • Slaves bore the mark of slavery on their foreheads.
  • French and Spanish Bourbons created military units of free blacks.
  • The trouble-stirrers in the colony may have been the New French, who were competing with the Free People of Color for jobs, etc.
  • In the late 17th Century in Cuba (& Mexico), slaves included Muslims, Indians, white Spanish criminals sentenced to lives of slavery, etc. Slavery was only "racialized" later.
