ABSTRACT
‘“You would not have been used in that manner, on our coast,” said Pangoleen; “but you are in the right to / conceal yourselves from the Europeans, who make slaves of us, though we reside on the same earth with them, and have never invaded their territories. If they think they have a right over our persons and property, because we have flat noses, woolly heads, and black skins, they would condemn you to servitude, because you have fins and tails. But what kind of nations are those, your majesty spoke of, with whom you still associate on earth?”
