Ignatius Sancho
(feddit.de)
Ignatius Sancho was born on a slave ship on the Atlantic Ocean around 1729.
When the ship arrived in New Granada, Sancho was sold into slavery.
Tragically, his mother died shortly after arriving in the colony, and it is said that his father committed suicide rather than live enslaved.
Before Sancho was two years old, he was taken to England, where he was sold to three sisters in Greenwich and remained enslaved for 18 years.
To escape his enslavement, Sancho fled to London to Montagu House, the residence of the Duke of Montagu, who had encouraged him to read and paid him special attention during a visit to Greenwich.
During his stay at Montagu House, Sancho further developed his interest in literature, poetry and music, as well as writing.
"Tragically, his mother died shortly after arriving in the colony..."
There’s so much tragedy in the first 3 sentences but this is the one that is given the descriptor.
One of the largest traumas as a child is losing your parents. It is more like an unconscious bond you lose so you will be scarred for your life without you actually knowing.
It is not "better" for a few months old, it is worse from a psychological standpoint.
There are occurences (Mate Gabor forexample) of children coming to have distrustful personalities because they were separated from their mother for a few weeks when they were like few months old.
I cant exactly quote Mate Gabor, but it literally means you can be 50+ years old, someone fails to do what he/she said he/she will do and you cant stand to talk to the person for days or weeks. Its literally hardcoded into you.
