England: A Destroyer of Nations (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from England: A Destroyer of Nations
To show the low state of the morals prevailing in England in those days, it will be necessary to peruse at some length the activity of those freebooters, which are heralded by English histories as the great heroes of the sea. This retrospection is necessary because we wish to show that the pernicious ia fluence emanating from them poisoned the morals of the English nation for centuries to come and has stamped its characteristics on their government to our day.
The first of these heroes of the sea was William Hawkins, of Plymouth. He it was who undertook the first slave huntsto the coast of Guinea and began that African slave trade in which England was engaged for nearly three centuries.
