For this question,refer to the following two quotations. "This Island [Barbados] is one of the Richest Spots of ground in the World....The gentry here doth Hue [appear] far better than ours do in England: they have most of them 100 or 2 or 3 of slaves ...and they have that Liberty of conscience which wee so long have in England fought for: But they do abuse it.This Island is inhabited with all sorts: with English,French,Dutch,Scots,Irish ...with Indians and miserable Negroes borne to perpetual slavery they and their seed....This Island is the Dunghill whereon England doth cast forth its rubbish....A rogue in England will hardly make a cheater here: a Bawd brought over puts on a demure comportment,a whore if handsome makes a wife for some rich planter."
Henry Whistler's Journal,1655
"But it may be objected that it is too cold a country for our English men,who have been accustomed to a warmer climate.To which it may be answered ... ,there is wood good store and better cheap to build warm houses and make good fires,which makes the winter less tedious....[W]hereas many do disparage the land,saying a man cannot live without labor,in that they more disparage and discredit themselves in giving the world occasion to take notice of their dronish disposition that would live off the sweat of another man's brows.Surely they were much deceived,or else ill informed,that ventured thither in hope to live in plenty and idleness....For all in New England must be workers of some kind....And howsoever they are accounted poor,they are well contented and look not so much at abundance as at competency."
William Wood,New England's Prospect,1634
