Examining the Issue of Enslaving Native Americans

De: Jason Wallace

Narrado por: Dennis Logan

In 1550-51, Bartolomé de las Casas and Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda, in the Valladolid Debate, attempted to settle the issue of whether or not Native Americans should have been enslaved, given sanction by the Pope. Both carefully argued their sides, las Casas stating emphatically, through his "Apología", that Native Americans were not all uncivilized and that only Canaanite tribes could be enslaved. What ensued was a heated, good-versus-evil argument that settled nothing and still allowed the Catholic Church and the Spanish government to condone and support the continued enslavement of native peoples.

This is someone’s college work

I happen to love history and find the subject of Native Americans to be fascinating. So I figured I’d give this a go. What I did not know from anything in the description was that this was a paper someone wrote in their sophomore year
Of College. The narrator did very well with the material. Though it Is a short listen, when it comes to history to Be honest This I was not what I expected. That being said, “We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so.”
