@AnthonyJK It did tho. In fact, the introduction of chattel slavery is a necessary extension of the project of exterminating the Indigenous people of "the New World." We sought, directly and fully written into historical evidence, to wipe out "the Indian" and replace the slave labor with Africans who were not indigenous BECAUSE doing it that way would aid the settler colonial project. Africans cannot swim home; Indigenous slaves can rebel. This is literally written down by contemporary sources.
