The Virginia Colony established the House of Burgesses, which was the first elective governing body in a British colony in 1619.
Slavery was crucial to Virginia's economy because it provided a labor force for the cultivation of cash crops, particularly tobacco, which was the colony's primary export. The reliance on enslaved labor not only fueled agricultural productivity but also facilitated Virginia's economic growth and wealth accumulation for planters.

Virginia was the colony that had the most indentured servants during the 17th and 18th centuries. The labor-intensive tobacco industry in Virginia created a high demand for workers, leading many Europeans to sign indenture contracts in exchange for passage to the New World. This system significantly shaped the colony's economy and population dynamics before the rise of African slavery.
