In the early English colonies, slaves were typically forced to work long hours in harsh conditions, primarily on plantations growing crops like tobacco or rice. They were subjected to physical and mental abuse, had no rights, and lived in overcrowded and poor living conditions. Slaves had little to no control over their own lives and were viewed as property rather than individuals.
Common law came to America from English settlers who arrived in the early colonies. It is based on legal principles developed in England over centuries and continued to be used as the foundation of the legal system in the American colonies and later in the United States.
In the early 1950s, the Jim Crow laws segregated black people in the South, enforcing racial discrimination in public facilities, schools, housing, and transportation. Black individuals faced systemic racism, limited voting rights, and were subjected to unfair treatment in the criminal justice system. These laws perpetuated white supremacy and racial inequality in the region.
Indentured servants were individuals who signed a contract to work for a set period in exchange for passage to the American colonies, food, and shelter. They were not considered free individuals and had limited rights. Indentured servitude was common in the early American colonies as a way to address labor shortages.
Two early legal systems that have influenced the development of modern laws are the Code of Hammurabi from ancient Mesopotamia and Roman law. The Code of Hammurabi is one of the earliest known written legal codes, emphasizing the principle of "an eye for an eye." Roman law, particularly the Justinian Code, contributed to the development of concepts such as civil rights and property rights that are still influential today.

No. The Parliamentary system developed primarily from the English arrangements between king an barons. The Christian church did have influence of course in many ways and that would have included the ten commandments, but the commandments are not reflected in the parliamentary systems that were developed. Even the legal systems were more based in Roman law and early English law.

Thomas Morton, an English colonist, called for equal laws in Plymouth in the early 17th century. He advocated for a more democratic system that granted equal rights to all individuals, regardless of their wealth or social status.
Immigrants and non-native English speakers were often labeled morons by early intelligence tests due to their limited English skills. These tests did not account for cultural or linguistic differences, resulting in unfair assessments of individuals' intelligence based solely on their ability to speak English.
I have not seen a school system that does that. The early school years focus on socialization, building friends and establishing a support system.
