Detailed explanation-1: -At some point during the first two decades of the 17th century, an English adventurer kidnapped Squanto and about two dozen other Wampanoag by tricking them into boarding an English trading ship. The English beat them and tied them up, then sailed for Spain to sell the captives as slaves.
Detailed explanation-2: -Squanto is 1 of 24 Indians kidnapped by the English and taken to Spain for the slave market. Ransomed by monks in Spain, Squanto escapes to England, where he works for a wealthy merchant who teaches him English and arranges for Squanto’s return to his home (Nies, 1996).
Detailed explanation-3: -Squanto was kidnapped by the English captain Thomas Hunt in 1614 CE to be sold into slavery but either escaped or won his freedom in Spain and traveled to England where he learned English and worked as interpreter and shipbuilder.
Detailed explanation-4: -Some authorities believe that he was taken from home to England in 1605 by George Weymouth and returned with explorer John Smith in 1614–15. He was, in any event, seized with other Indians by one of Smith’s men, Thomas Hunt, who took them to the Mediterranean port of Málaga, Spain, to be sold into slavery.
