The passage below is taken from a version of Columbus's journals edited by Bartolomeo de Las
Casas. As you read the passage, imagine the thrill of discovery that would have been experienced
by the sailors on board Columbus's ships. For them this was truly a venture into the unknown.
For many years Columbus's landing was judged to have been made on San Salvador (Watling
Island). A recent study retracing the voyage suggests that Columbus landed on the island of
Samana Cay, more than sixty miles to the southeast of San Salvador. Many scholars will not
agree with this new assertion, and the exact location of the island does not change the nature of
the reaction shown in this journal. If you wish to examine the new evidence, see the National
Geographic 170, no. 5 (November 1986): 566–605.
. . . the Admiral requested and admonished them to keep a sharp lookout at the castle of the bow,
and to look well for land, and said that he would give to him who first saw land a silk doublet,
besides the other rewards which the King and Queen had promised, namely and annual pension
of ten thousand maravedis to him who should see it first. Two hours after midnight, the land
appeared about two leagues off. They lowered all the sails, leaving only a storm square sail,
which is the mainsail without bonnets, and lay to until Friday when they reached a small island
of the Lucayos, called Guanahani by the natives. They soon saw people naked, and the Admiral
went on shore in the armed boat. . . . As soon as they had landed they saw trees of a brilliant
green abundance of water and fruits of various kinds. The Admiral called the two captains and
the rest who had come on shore . . . and he called them as witnesses to certify that he in the
presence of them all, was taking, as he in fact took possession of said island for the king and
Queen his masters, making the declarations that were required as they will be found more fully
in the attestations then taken down in writing. Soon after a large crowd of natives congregated
there. What follows are the Admiral's own words in his book on the first voyage and discovery
of these Indies.
"In order to win the friendship and affection of that people, and because I am convinced that
their conversion to our Holy Faith would be better promoted through love than through force; I
presented some of them with red caps and some strings of glass beads which they placed around
their necks, and with other trifles of insignificant worth that delighted them and by which we
have got a wonderful hold on their affections. They afterwards came to the boats of the vessels
swimming, bringing us parrots, cotton thread in balls, and spears, and many other things which
they bartered for others we gave them, as glass beads and little bells. . . . I saw but one very
young girl, all the rest being very young me ...

One of the biggest differences we face from our adversaries is a significant profit motive to breach your environments. But social science work on how criminals organize is lacking, what with criminals being so unwilling to advertise their methods. My theory is that we can instead learn from historian criminal organizations. Pirate companies share a lot in common with cyber-criminals - roaming the seas instead of cyberspace and sailing through significant gaps in international law. And what I've learned is that pirates were impressively organized. These pirate companies, forced to innovate or die (literally), turned into some of the most progressive companies the world had ever seen. There is a lot of learn from this stunning level of innovation. These were the first Nation State level adversaries the American people faced following the revolutionary war. My goal for this talk is to convince you that we can learn a lot about how today's criminals organize and my extension learn what strategies stopped pirates in the past (and which ones didn't). And the very least we should have a healthy respect for professional criminals.

An African Narrative by Olaudah Equiano (1791)
Please read this document and if you are assigned to do so, submit your answers to the questions on the Document Worksheet as determined by your instructor.
While there was land aplenty in America, the key to the American dream of prosperity was labor: one's own and others'. The primary labor group was the family, but added to those laborers tied by marriage and birth were those tied by wages ("free" laborers), contracts (indentured servants), and coercion (slaves). Although Indian and African slavery had been part of the colonization process in the Americas since the conquistadores, the importation and use of African slaves in the English mainland colonies did not commence in earnest until the late seventeenth century. The exploitation of enslaved Africans and their descendants then increased tremendously in the eighteenth century, especially in the southern colonies, although slaves were found in every colony.
First African and then European traders carried Olaudah Equiano (1745–1797), an Ibo of Nigeria, into the trap of trans-Atlantic slavery when he was a boy of eleven. Slavery as an institution was not new to Equiano; his father had slaves, but he found that the Euro-American concept of slavery was different from the African one. Equiano survived the passage from Africa to the colonies and was bought by a Virginia planter, and shortly thereafter, by an English naval officer. He served on warships during the Seven Years' War and then, as the property of a Quaker merchant, participated in the trade between the West Indies and the southern colonies. Equiano bought his freedom in 1766 and supported himself as a sailor. His life did not parallel the lives of most of those enslaved, for he learned to read and write and gained his own liberty. Greatly influenced by evangelical ministers who preached the equality of souls, he used his freedom and education to work for the abolition of slavery.

The first object which saluted my eyes when I arrived on the coast, was the sea, and a slave ship, which was then riding at anchor, and waiting for its cargo. These filled me with astonishment, which was soon converted into terror, when I was carried on board. I was immediately handled, and tossed up to see if I were sound, by some of the crew; and I was now persuaded that I had gotten into a world of bad spirits, and that they were going to kill me.

Columbus Had A Map
A few years ago, while working at an ad agency in Toronto, after telling a co-worker about my interest in history, and specfically "the mysteries of history", he challenged me to write a movie about one story in particular: the fact that Columbus did not simply decide to sail across the ocean blue to see what was on the other side of the world, but he had a map - one he had obtained from a sea captain. We now know Vikings had explored North America's eastern shores, and it is likely the Chinese had likewise explored the West Coast, long before 1492. I thought, based on what I had read, that the story of Columbus and his various voyages would make a great movie.
