Two men of history began vital, history-making ministries from their position as slaves; Joseph and Squanto. The connection made by Governor William Bradford and Squanto is truly miraculous. How many Americans today would expect to meet an English speaking native on our shores in the 1600’s?
Slavery is a blemish on society today, but it was a big help in building our nation. Most of the grand homes in Wilmington and New Bern, NC were built by slaves. In Wilmington a former slave's son is still helping restore the Bellamy Mansion with the skill he learned decades ago. At ninety some years old the craftsman is building the decor for the mansion and it is enjoyed by many visitors right in the center of the town.
