4. Frank Tannenbaum, in Slave and Citizen: The Negro in the Americas (New York: Random House, Vintage Books, 1946), argued that Iberian law and Catholicism recognized and sometime even protected the humanity of slaves, providing more avenues to family life and freedom, than other empires in the Americas. He concluded that Iberians' recognition of slaves' humanity created less oppressive race relations in Latin America than in other American regions after emancipation.
