Benjamin Franklin (1706-90), born in Boston, left school at the age of ten to assist his father. Franklin was self-taught intellectual, reading Xenophon, Plutarch, Bunyan, Locke, etc., which gave him the social mobility working in a printing shop, and later having his own printing shop. Franklin had a famous publication called "Poor Richard's Almanack", he made discoveries in the science of electrostatics and he was a member of the Federal Constitutional Convention.

friend of humanity who with such fervor and determination denounced to his government

and his contemporaries the most horrific acts of that sanguineous frenzy.”1 Las Casas, a

sixteenth century Spanish historian and Dominican missionary, is considered by many as

the first person to expose and call for the abolition of the Spanish enslavement of the

Indians in America. For almost sixty years, Las Casas confronted statesmen, potent

churchmen, mighty kings, powerful encomenderos, and many others in his search for a

better treatment for the Indians in America
