Note [409 — Chapter V
Reading edition
[409] Lawson, A New Voyage to Carolina, etc., p. 194, states that the Indians of the Carolina country refused to sell their children, though they would sell anything else they possessed for wampum. For precedents when the English sold white captives in war, see Trowbridge, A History of Ancient Maritime Interests in New Haven, p. 47; Lecky, A History of England in the Eighteenth Century, ii, p. 189.
