Essay on Slavery
|
|
|
|
Slavery was caused by economic factors of the english settlers in the
|
|
late 17th century. Colonists continually tried to allure laborers to the
|
|
colony. The headright system was to give the indentured servant, a method
|
|
of becoming independent after a number of years of service. Slavery was
|
|
caused by economic reasons. Colonists chiefly relied on Indentured
|
|
Servitude, inorder to facilitate their need for labor. The decreasing
|
|
population combined with a need for a labor force, led colonists to believe
|
|
that African slaves were the most efficient way to acquire a labor force
|
|
that would satisfy their needs.
|
|
|
|
Before the 1680's, Indentured Servitude was the primary source of
|
|
labor in the newly developed colonies. After the 1680's, the population of
|
|
the Indentured Servants decreased, exponentially. Their were a number of
|
|
different reasons why the population of Indentured Servents had decreased.
|
|
The indentured servents were running away from their temporary masters, to
|
|
find a job where he could become more independent. Indentured servents
|
|
were also dying of many diseases, which was caused by harsh conditions. The
|
|
immigration of servents thus declined, becuase of the people in England
|
|
being informed of the harsh treatment in the colonies. The society was
|
|
where the land was easy to find, while the labor was most scarce.
|
|
Indentured servitude, was a form of labor which was declining, and the need
|
|
for labor increased rapidly.
|
|
|
|
In the 1600's, when tobacco was founded by John Rolfe, tobacco became
|
|
the main source of income for most of the colonists. The economic
|
|
prosperity of the colonies was primarily dependent on the amount of tobacco
|
|
produced. The growing of tobacco, needed a large amount of land, with a
|
|
large stable work force. The increased demand for a large, stable work
|
|
force combined with the availability of African slaves, led to the use of
|
|
slavery in the colonies. During the late 17th century, the indentured
|
|
servants were running away from their masters farms, if a slave had run
|
|
away from their master's farms, then the slave would be easier to discern
|
|
because of the color of his skin. To the planter, slavery was the ideal
|
|
form of labor that would be most beneficial to productivity of his crop.
|
|
|
|
Planters had an abundance of land and a shortage of labor. This
|
|
relationship, made the amount of tobacco directly proportional to the
|
|
number of slaves that the planter owned. Slavery was the backbone of the
|
|
prosperity of the colonies. A major factor in the consideration of slaves
|
|
on plantation, is the flux of the land. Tobacco was the major crop of the
|
|
17th century, and tobacco is a plant that exhausts nutrients from the soil,
|
|
which led to the rotation of crops, inorder to replenish the crops. The
|
|
planter needed to educate his workers on certain agricultural techniques
|
|
inorder to know how to make the land most productive. With a permanent
|
|
work force, such as slaves, the slaves would only require to be educated
|
|
once, instead of the planters having to re-educate indentured servants
|
|
every X number of years. The African slaves also had other characteristics
|
|
that enticed colonists to use them as a labor force. The African slaves
|
|
were immune to malaria, which resisted them from disease. The africans also
|
|
were subsistence farmers in africa, thus, they had a tradition of farming,
|
|
and essential agricultural skills.
|
|
|
|
Slavery was a course in history, where it was opportune for the
|
|
colonists to use slavery as a labor force. The decline in population of
|
|
indentured servants exacerbated the situation, as time progressed, slavery
|
|
became more and more imminent. Morality was not taken into consideration,
|
|
because of the settlers were only viewing slavery from a economic view,
|
|
rather than a humanitarian point of view. The introduction of slavery into
|
|
the colonies can be summarize with a cliche of the settlers being "at the
|
|
right place at the right time".
