But yeah, I wasn't too impressed with Church and, given that I wanted Matthew to be reincarnated Church...
Matthew is, unfortunately, one of the new members of the Inner Circle (one of the reasons why he's constantly switching back and forth using 'sir' and 'Charles' to address Charles Lee).
Poor Connor was awake the whole time (he's awake during a lot of the shitty stuff), but it's nothing he hasn't heard before (though he's still getting used to the idea that he's pregnant again) so he's quite used to this kind of...behavior from them.
he's not even a human being in their eyes.
Interestingly enough, many thinkers and armchair anthropologists in England at roughly that time (give or take a century) debated exactly that. One of the topics of debate was whether people from certain parts of Africa and the Native Americans were people. A sizable group wrote treatises on why Native Americans were primitive peoples (adam and eve types) and why people from Africa were not people. Another sizable group wrote the opposite. Some argued both were not people and some argued that both were.
I believe, but not sure since this is all going off of memory from history class over 10 years ago, a very large segment decided that the groups from Africa were not people and, thus, legitimized the type of slavery we saw in the US and in Europe.
Also, apparently, there was some questioning over whether either group (but particularly the former) can/should be converted to Christianity because apparently it was against the bible to take Christian peoples as slaves.
