Why was slavery needed in the south?
Slavery in the south can be traced way back to an event in the summer of 1675 called Bacon's Rebellion. Nathanial Bacon was a well-to-do 28-year-old man who immigrated to the Virgina colony in the 1670's. Because of his wealth and social status, he quickly elevated himself to a position in Governor Berkeley's council. When Berkeley refused to give a military commission to Bacon (probably detecting how cunning and dangerous he was), Bacon took advantage of the complaints of many of the poor. The lower class at the time was impoverished due to a system of indentured servitude in return for passage to the new world. As part of the agreement, they were supposed to get a ten-acre piece of land. Most were cheated out of this by the wealthy who paid for their voyage. This created lots of resentment between the lower and upper classes. The last straw was when Berkeley forbade the stealing of Native American land. The wealthy liked the Indians at the time because they made a lucrative business out of trading Indian-caught furs for European novelties. Soon after this legislation was issued, Bacon rallied together the lower class and led a massacre of the peaceful Doeg tribe and the destruction of Jamestown. Bacon temporarily grabbed control of the colony until he suddenly died of dysentery and it was subsequently retaken by Berkeley. This rebellion was a big shock to the upper class, and, out of nervousness, the House of Burgesses allowed the poor to move into Native American territory. After this event, the uneasy wealthy ended indentured servitude and started rapidly importing black slaves to replace the workers they released. Slavery was then started in order to appease the lower-class whites. Slavery kept on growing in the south and it was eventually irreplaceable and far too engraved into the economy to take back easily. Another main component in the development of slavery in the south was the fact that the first British colony there- Jamestown- was settled by men who wanted to get rich quick, and growing tobacco and cotton in vast numbers seemed the way to do it. Because of the huge amounts of land acquired by the wealthy by stealing from indentured servants, they needed more and more labor to manage it.
