When were the African slave were brought to Virginia?
In 1619, a Dutch ship tied up at the colony of Jamestown in Virginia. The captain paid for some tobacco it took aboard with about 20 black African captives. The "slaves" were probably seized as a prize from a slave trader bound for the Spanish West Indies. The popular theory has been that the blacks became "indentured servants," like white settlers who could not afford passage to the colonies. There is no record of this in the papers dealing with Virginia or Jamestown. The word "slave" did not appear in records of Virginia until 1656 and laws dealing with "slaves" did not appear until the 1660s.With the success of tobacco planting, African Slavery was legalized in Virginia and Maryland, becoming the foundation of the Southern agrarian economy.
What role did Nat turner and John brown in the civil war?
Nat Turner was the leader of a slave revolt around 1830 in Virginia. Prior to that occurrence there were actually more Manumission Societies in the south than in the north. These were groups who advocated freeing the slaves, usually preferring that when freed they be transported somewhere else, back to Africa, or to some Caribbean island being the schemes most often advanced. But Nat Turner's revolt, with slave owners and their families hacked to death with agricultural implements, put great fear into the southerners, and almost eliminated the southern talk of freeing slaves. John Brown likewise tried to incite a slave rebellion, seizing the US government arsenal at Harpers Ferry, (today in West) Virginia, to secure guns with which to arm these slaves. Both of these incidents brought to the forefront of southern consciousness the horror of "servile insurrection" and the fear of being slaughtered in their beds by slaves. This hardened southern attitudes in the years leading up to the war.
