The colonists could have utilized indentured servitude, where individuals worked for a set period of time to pay off a debt for their passage to the New World. They could also have promoted the use of free labor from willing workers or employed Native Americans as laborers.
True. There were some northerners who believed that if slavery remained in the South and did not spread to the new territories, it could eventually die out on its own. This viewpoint was known as "free soil" or "free labor" and was held by some abolitionists and moderate opponents of slavery.
African American slavery in the United States was based on race and chattel slavery, where individuals were considered property with no rights or freedoms. Serfdom in Europe was based on feudal obligations and tied individuals to the land, but they still had some limited rights and could eventually buy their freedom. Overall, African American slavery was more brutal and dehumanizing compared to serfdom.
Northern workers and immigrants opposed slavery for a variety of reasons, including economic competition (as slave labor could reduce job opportunities), moral opposition to the institution of slavery, and a desire to prevent its expansion into new territories to maintain a free labor market. Additionally, some believed that slavery undermined the principles of equality and freedom that the United States was founded upon.
The author could have used the word "boisterously" as a less negatively connotated alternative to "rowdily."
Slavery was often based on economic interests, racial prejudice, and social hierarchy. These factors combined to create a system where people were considered property and could be bought, sold, and exploited for labor.
The Headright system began in the US state of Virginia. The Headright system tried to solve the labor shortage problem. It was also a way to attract new colonists. Immigrant colonists were given one headright and could receive one more for each passage they paid for an additional immigrant. The Headright system also led to too much distribution of land, increasing the tension between the Native Americans and the colonists. It also let to the increase of indentured servitude and slavery.

Most colonists were economically reliant on slavery for their agricultural economies, particularly in the Southern colonies, where cash crops like tobacco and cotton thrived on slave labor. Additionally, societal norms and racial attitudes of the time reinforced the belief in white superiority, making it difficult for many to question the morality of slavery. Furthermore, the fear of economic instability and social upheaval that could arise from abolishing slavery often led to a reluctance to critically examine the institution. Lastly, religious and cultural justifications for slavery contributed to its acceptance, further hindering critical scrutiny among the colonists.
Because the colonists figured out that by using cheap human labor, they could make more income from cash crops such as tobacco and rice.
Yes, Texas as a Republc, as a US State, and as a Confederate state was a slave state. Mexico had abolished slavery in 1826 and if a Texas slave could make it across the river they were free to become colonists in Mexico.
They had the available land and a shortage of labor to meet their needs. Their cash crop was the labor intensive tobacco plant from which they could derive huge profits if only they had adequate and conpliant labor.
A shortage is a lack of something. It means you do not have enough. Another way of saying this is a dearth. You could also say that you ran out of something.
