Best Answer

The first black slaves in America where actually indentured servants and only had to work for 7 years. Then people started to just not let them go because the couldn't speak on there own behalf and then people found that you could make money and get free labor from slaves and that started a spark in the age of slaves. I hope I answered your question.
