By the 1700s, enslaved individuals in Virginia were primarily of African descent and were subjected to brutal conditions under the plantation system. They were forced to work in tobacco, rice, and later cotton production, which were labor-intensive crops crucial to the colonial economy. Enslaved people faced dehumanization, lacked basic rights, and lived under oppressive laws that sought to control their lives and prevent rebellion. Despite these harsh realities, many enslaved individuals developed rich cultural traditions and bonded communities that resisted the dehumanizing conditions of slavery.
