Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -He returned to America in 1615 with Captain John Smith’s expedition to New England. Shortly there-after, Captain Thomas Hunt kidnapped and sold Squanto and about 30 other Indians into slavery in Spain. Squanto eventually escaped from slavery and made his way to England.
Detailed explanation-4: -Tisquantum was born in 1580 and became known as Squanto, though little is known of his early life. Some believe Tisquantum was captured as a young man on the coast of what is now Maine by Captain George Weymouth in 1605.
