       The fact that Black people in the English colonies of
       North America were never treated as the equals of
       White people has important ramifications. If from the
       outset Black people were discriminated against, then
5      legal slavery in the 1660‘s should be viewed as a reflection
       and an extension of racial prejudice rather than, as many
       historians including Oscar and Mary Handlin
       have argued, the cause of prejudice. In addition,
       the existence of discrimination before the
10    advent of legal slavery offers a further explanation
       for the harsher treatment of Black slaves in North than in
       South America. Freyre and Tannenbaum have rightly
       argued that the lack of certain traditions in North
       America—such as a Roman conception of slavery and
15   a Roman Catholic emphasis on equality—explains
       why the treatment of Black slaves was more severe there
       than in the Spanish and Portuguese colonies of South
       America. But this cannot be the whole explanation
       since it is merely negative, based only on a lack of
20   something. A more compelling explanation is that the
       early and sometimes extreme racial discrimination in the
       English colonies helped determine the particular nature
       of the slavery that followed.
