Answers
Luckily for him, after two years of slavery, he is rescued off the west coast of Africa by boy named Xury on a Portuguese ship that was heading to Brazil. He however betrays Xury and sells him out to the captain. In return, Crusoe is given a plantation as a reward.
Crusoe agrees to let the captain have Xury, and the captain says he will set the boy free in ten years, so long as Xury converts to Christianity.
Xury. A nonwhite (Arab or black) slave boy only briefly introduced during the period of Crusoe's enslavement in Sallee. When Crusoe escapes with two other slaves in a boat, he forces one to swim to shore but keeps Xury on board, showing a certain trust toward the boy. Xury never betrays that trust.
Many enslaved people wanted to be free so they could develop their own talents and make some money of their own. They wanted to be free to live where they chose, to get an education and, especially, to stay with their families.
