The court chronicler Azurara set himself in 1452, at the command of Prince Henry, to record the valiant exploits of the negro-catchers. Reflecting the spirit of the time, he praised them as crusaders bringing savage heathen for conversion to civilization and christianity. He gently lamented the massacre and sufferings involved, but thought them infinitely outweighed by the salvation of souls. This cheerful spirit of solace was destined long to prevail among white peoples when contemplating the hardships of the colored races. But Azurara was more than a moralizing annalist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ulrich Bonnell Phillips\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1544600054\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781544600055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/16\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 524\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.53lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 1.05d","brand":"Ulrich Bonnell Phillips","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48995925786879,"sku":"9781544600055","price":23.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-negro-slavery-ulrich-bonnell-phillips-9781544600055","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
