>GONZÁLEZ: In some ways, his entrance into the slave trade strikes me as trying to keep up with the Joneses. You know, he’s not wealthy yet, and he’s an entrepreneur trying out all of these different trading industries: spermaceti candles, rum, chocolate,tea, other British goods. NUNES: Yeah, slavery is, at this time, just another industry for Lopez to try his hand in. And it’s legal. SNYDER: You know it's it's brutal to kind of talk about human beings in that way. But that's exactly how they were seen. They were just another kind of cargo or another kind of livestock. As shocking as that sounds to us now. That is the way they saw it. And that's the way they justified what they did. Slavery is abhorent and wrong, unless the slave trader is jewish in which case it's just another legal industry and he was only trying to make a better life for his (already wealthy Portugee) family escaping religious persecution. William whatever-his-name-was an icky Christian and his descendants have no right to establish a colony only for themselves. No, the jews must be allowed to vote and sell their whale candles and slaves.
