The wholesale deportation of Indians as slaves was perhaps not a "success" in
providing the sugar economy with enslaved workers.  On the other hand, it was a
decided success in ridding Anglo-Virginians of troublesome land-owning Indians,
as the history of the Nantzatico kindly provided by Edward Ragan indicates. 
Judicial enslavement under the conditions in the sugar plantations of the West
Indies became a kind of genocide.
