Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir John Hawkins was a naval commander and privateer during the Elizabethan era in the 16th century, who explored swathes of the New World amid danger and treachery. Born to William Hawkins, master of The Great Galley of Henry VIII's navy, from youth John aspired to a mariner's career. His father's reputation as sailor and merchant aided John's rise, especially when it was clear the younger Hawkins had inherited the vital talents of seamanship and business. John's first commission from Queen Elizabeth in 1562 was a turning point; returning home with enormous gains, which he built upon in further expeditions, his future in England's navy was set. Hawkins was pivotal in planning and commissioning further ships for the English navy, and proved an able administrator. As the Spanish Armada approached in 1588, he served alongside Francis Drake and other commanders - the dispatches Hawkins gave of the enormous fleet are matter-of-fact, noting the immense operational challenges England's sailors were under. In modern times, Hawkins is notorious for his dealings in the slave trade, being among the first English slavers. On several journeys he bartered for hundreds of African tribes people, whom he then ferried for sale to plantation owners in the New World. His actions marked the point England joined an inhumane, barbarously lucrative trade, in direct competition with the Spanish and Portuguese.

Download or read book The Queen s Slave Trader written by Nick Hazlewood and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2005-11-22 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, blame for the introduction of slavery in America has been squarely placed upon the slave traders who ravaged African villages, the merchants who auctioned off human lives as if they were cattle, and the slave owners who ruthlessly beat their helpless victims. There is, however, above all these men, another person who has seemingly been able to avoid the blame due her. The origins of slavery -- often described as America's shame -- can actually be traced back to a woman, England's Queen Elizabeth I. During the 1560s, Elizabeth was encouraging a Renaissance in her kingdom but also knew her country's economy could not finance her dreams for it. On direct orders from Her Majesty, John Hawkyns set sail from England. His destination: West Africa. His mission: to capture human lives. After landing on the African coast, he used a series of brutal raids, violent beatings, and sheer terror to load his ships. As the first major slave trader, Hawkyns's actions and attitudes toward his cargo set the precedent for those who followed him for the next two hundred years. In The Queen's Slave Trader, historian Nick Hazlewood's haunting discoveries take you into the mind-set of the men who made their livelihoods trafficking human souls and at long last reveals the man who began it all -- and the woman behind him.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Sir John Hawkins believes that the reality of the state of affairs in our society is that intellectually we are on the rapid decline and that any hope for the future can only come from social revolution. In Everything Forgotten: The Conversation, Sir John presents ideas he holds that may form the basis for such a revolution. He explores a wide variety of hotly debated topics, considering love and its unfortunate misinterpretation in the modern world; sex and its use and misuse in marriage; and various gender-related issues, focusing on the role of men and women in today’s society. He also explores music and the music industry, as well as the destruction of societal relationships through social media. Presenting analysis in both verse and essay format, Sir John writes with the intent of illuminating the effect of these topics on our decisions in life. This collection of prose and poetry offers one man’s opinions on a wide range of topics relating to social and interpersonal relationship issues.

Book excerpt: Although Sir John Hawkins's Life of Johnson has long been an essential source for readers interested in Samuel Johnson, for over two hundred years now Hawkins's biography has been systematically misread, misinterpreted, and misunderstood.
