Those Africans also ate their enemies after killing them in battle.

Blacks, captured and sold by blacks, were better off when enslaved.

Supposedly the Africans on the slave ships bound for the New World expected to be eaten when they arrived. What could have given them such a notion?

Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca and the other three survivors of the Narvaez expedition were shipwrecked on the coast of Texas (near present-day Galveston) and were slaves of the local Indians for several years before they managed to escape.

One of the four was a North African who is described as black. Once heard Henry Louis Gates talking about him as if he was the leader of the expedition.
