The Freedom of the Seas (Mare Liberum)
The indigenous peoples of the Americas, invoked as an analogous case regarding just causes of war and religion.
Et in hanc formam audimus saepe a Senatu in Hispania, et Theologis praecipue Dominicanis decretum fuisse, sola verbi praedicatione non bello Americanos ad fidem traducendos;
Nam qui Barbaros bello persequuntur ut Americanos Hispani, duo solent praetexere, quod ab illis commercio arceantur, aut quod doctrinam verae religionis illi nolent agnoscere.
Et scimus bella quaedam ex hac causa coepisse, ut Megarensibus in Athenienses, Bononiensibus in Venetos, Castellanis etiam in Americanos has iustas potuisse belli causas esse, et ceteris probabiliores Victoria putat, si peregrinari et degere apud illos prohiberentur, si arcerentur a participatione earum rerum quae iure gentium aut moribus communia sunt, si denique ad commercia non admitterentur.

American workers referenced in the discussion of labour competition from Chinese immigrants.
