(As much as 50% was to be paid to the Spanish Crown, and 45% presumably would go to Saravia, the investor.)<br \/><br \/>Pedro\u2019s honorary was to be paid in installments, every four months throughout the year in La Espa\u00f1ola.\u00a0 If Saravia incurred in a delay, as a penalty he was supposed to pay Pedro a two-fold amount.\u00a0 On the other hand, if Pedro decided to quit before the end of the life of the contract, he would be obliged to contribute twice the amount of whatever the salary of the worker that Saravia could find to replace him, plus any additional expenses that finding the replacement could entail.<br \/><br \/>Black people, therefore, were participating in the capitalistic nature of the colonization and exploitation of the Americas, in this case from the salaried worker\u2019s end, from the start.\u00a0 And La Espa\u00f1ola was the initial scenario of that participation.\u00a0 Thus, in a way, we can paraphrase the description of La Espa\u00f1ola as \u201cthe cradle of blackness\u201d in the Americas by saying that it was also \u201cthe cradle of capitalism\u201d in the Americas too.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"e-n-tab-content-2357968215\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"e-n-tab-title-2357968215\" data-tab-index=\"5\" style=\"--n-tabs-title-order: 5;\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-acc62ab e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"acc62ab\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dac605d elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"dac605d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<iframe src=\"http:\/\/firstblacks.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Manuscript-Transcription-007.pdf\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600px\" style=\"border: none;\">\n    This browser does not support PDFs.
