How did ideas like those expressed in the image Group of Cannibal Indians impact the development of African slavery in Great Britains North American colonies?

Answer 1

Images like "Group of Cannibal Indians" perpetuated stereotypes that dehumanized indigenous peoples, which in turn influenced the dehumanization of Africans and the justification of their enslavement in the British North American colonies. This representation of non-European peoples as savage and less civilized helped to reinforce the idea of racial superiority and the exploitation of different groups for economic gain.
