Africans were initially brought to the Americas as slaves, forced to work without pay and treated as property. Over time, some Africans were able to buy their freedom or were granted it after serving a term as indentured servants. However, for the vast majority, their status remained as enslaved individuals throughout the colonial period.

How the Chesapeake colonies addressed the labor shortage?

At the beginning of the 1600s, the main source of labor was white indentured servants. They were four times more numerous than African slaves. However, as the cost of transatlantic transportation lowered, the numbers of indentured servants dropped, while the number of African slaves rose. This shift caused a change in the way African slaves were treated as well. Some blame the change on events such as Bacon's Rebellion, which lowered the way whites viewed people of color.


What would be the advantages of using indentured servants in the southern colonies?

By the 1800's indentured servants were very few and had been replaced by slavery. Indentured servants had a 7 year contract but very few completed it. They would leave for their own business and place in society. It was easy to do since the majority were white and could just melt into the population. A African American had a harder time since in the southern states they were slaves who needed permission to leave from their owner. Even a freedman in the south had to be careful since they were often enslaved because they were black.

Where in the Bible does it say fallen angels can change shape?

It simply does not say this, however, you may be referring to this Scripture:2 Corinthians 11:13-15New International Version (NIV)13 For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness.
