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.
If I had a time machine I'll just go to the past and tell them: "I come from the future to tell you that we have built a web that allow us to immediately share our thoughts across the globe interconnecting humanity, and We all think you suck" then jump onto my machine and disappear into another time to spread the message.
Except for Ignatius, he's cool.
