Did White Virginians enslave people of African American descents because of long held, deep seated racial bias?

Blababa [14]

Yes, they did:

In 1629, Virginia’s General Court ordered a general muster (gathering) of all the inhabitants (men, women and children) both Englishe (a term they used to refer to other non-English Europeans) as well as Negroes, who were perceived as a separate group. This goes beyond the belief that White culture was superior than the one of the Negroes; White Virginians had from the beginning a long held deep-seated antipathy to the African American descendants.

According to 16th century English sources, there was a serious English prejudice against Africans even before 1619. The English tended to relate blacks with apes, unbridled sexuality, and with extremely un-Christian behavior. All of these ideals created a profound prejudice against Africans, and such prejudice was carried to America as well. English also believed that the skin pigmentation of blacks had implications of evil and repugnance.

Therefore, White Virginians considered Africans not only as a separate group but as group of people visually, socially, and maybe biologically different, labelling them as inferior to white people. As a result, White Virginians believed that Africans “qualified” as slaves because they were different and considered them evil.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

1. Moctezuma II welcomed the Spanish, thinking that Cortes was the human incarnation of the god Quetzalcoatl

2. Cortes and his man brought smallpox to the city of Tenochtitlan, killing many Aztec

3. Cortes established alliances with enemies of the Aztec such as the Tlaxcalans

4. Cortes marched up the coast of Mexico and conquered the territory of Veracruz

Explanation:

When the Spanish arrived in Mexico, the Aztecs were thinking that they were deities, and that Cortes is a human incarnation of Quetzalcoatl, with the main reason for that being that they looked much different and came with ships from where the legend said that Quetzalcoatl will one day return. The Spanish used this in their advantage and left the Aztecs to think that way, bringing them in their capital and making them familiar with it, but also brought smallpox with in the city, killing off the Aztecs. Cortes and his men were hungry for gold, and the Aztecs had lot of it. The Spanish understood that most of the people conquered by the Aztecs hated them, so they made alliances with them in order to attack them and take over their empire. Together, the Spanish and the local people managed to defeat the Aztecs and took over their territory, marking the beginning of the Spanish empire in the New World.
