How Slavery Started in Haiti:
The priest’s solution was to instead bring African slaves from Africa to

Needless to say the outcome the Africans had to go through after the
priest disclosed that information.
When the African slaves got to Hispaniola, it said that one African can
the work of 6 Indians. They needed very low maintenance and once
they got a beaten, they were working like animals.
