科罗纳多CORONADO

正如《哥伦布和探险时代》这本很好的书中提到的，
As noted by a pretty good book called Columbus and the age of discovery,

早在1506年，在西班牙和加那利群岛的甘蔗种植园当奴隶的非洲人可能被带到美洲。最多到1513年，当时国王建立了许可制度。从1530年开始，黑人从非洲被直接运到加勒比海。葡萄牙航海家亨利王子在欧洲开创了非洲奴隶制度，但这是他从阿拉伯人那里学来的，在葡萄牙人第一次向南航行之前，阿拉伯人这么做已经好几个世纪了。
Africans, already enslaved on sugar plantations in Spain and on the Canary Islands, were possibly brought to America as early as 1506, but no later than 1513 when the King set up a licensing system. From 1530 on, blacks were shipped from Africa direct to the Caribbean. Prince Henry the Navigator of Portugal initiated African slavery in Europe, but it’s a habit he picked up from Arabs who had been doing so for centuries before the Portugese first sailed south.

当奴隶被带到美洲时，奴隶制度变得更加残酷，因为他们被当作牛马，当作动物，这种奴隶制一代一代地维持下去。黑色的肤色成了奴隶的代名词，象征着比主人低一等。
When brought to the Americas, slavery became more brutal as slaves came to be viewed as beasts of burden and, as with animals, such slavery was maintained from generation to generation. The dark skin color became synonymous with slavery and signified inferiority to the masters.
