Why and where did slavery arise and grow in the American colonies?

Slavery arose in the American colonies primarily due to the demand for labor-intensive agricultural products, such as tobacco, rice, and later cotton. The labor shortage following the decline of indentured servitude led to the importation of enslaved Africans, particularly in the Southern colonies where plantations thrived. The transatlantic slave trade facilitated this growth, establishing a brutal system that became integral to the colonial economy and society. By the 18th century, slavery was deeply entrenched in the economic and social fabric of the colonies, particularly in the South.

How did indentured servitude and slavery arise in North America?

Indentured servitude and slavery arose in North America by the colonies/ colonists needed another source of labor since most Native Americans became sick and as a result died because they weren't immune to the diseases that the Europeans brought with them to America. The colonists, especially Spanish priest Bartolome de Las Casas came up with an idea of enslaving/ capturing Africans to America to do the work because they had an immunity to the British diseases. Over colonial time, the demands for slaves increased. Since their was very high death rates, which led to labor shortages, the colonists began using indentured servants [were servants that signed a contract to work for four to seven years for those who paid for their journey to America]. That is how indentured servitude and slavery arose in North America.


Why did President Wilson want the US to remain neutral when World War 1 began?

President Wilson wanted the U.S. to remain neutral at the onset of World War I to protect American interests and avoid the costs of war. He believed that neutrality would allow the U.S. to act as a mediator and promote peace while maintaining trade relationships with both the Allied and Central Powers. Additionally, he sought to keep the diverse American population united and avoid the internal divisions that could arise from taking sides in the conflict.

How did slavery change over time in colonial American?

Slavery in colonial America evolved significantly from the early 17th century to the late 18th century. Initially, indentured servitude was more common, but as tobacco and other cash crops became economically vital, demand for labor increased, leading to the establishment of a racialized system of chattel slavery. Legal codes gradually codified the status of enslaved individuals, enforcing lifelong servitude and hereditary slavery based on race. By the late 1700s, slavery became deeply entrenched in Southern economies and societies, setting the stage for the divisive conflicts that would arise in the following century.

What were the justifications of slavery prior to the eighteenth century?

The justifications of slavery during the eighteenth century were little to none until close to the end. Slavery was not a subject that was questioned whether it was ethical to keep the slave trade going. By 1750, still no one seriously discussed or questioned the existence of slavery. By 1888, the institution of slavery no longer existed in the transatlantic economy. Prior to the eighteenth century however, there were justifications to slavery. Chattel slavery did exist however prior to the eighteenth century. Chattel slavery is the ownership of one human being by another (existed in the West). Plato and Aristotle both provided arguments for slavery based on the assertion that persons in bondage were intended by nature to be slaves. Christian writers accommodated themselves similarly to the institution. They contended that the most harmful form of slavery was that of the enslavement of the soul to sin rather than the enslavement of physical body. They also argued that genuine freedom was recognized from the relationship one has with God and that if problems arise that relate to the injustices of inequality would be solved in the Hereafter. Christina Scholastic thinkers in the Middle Ages had portrayed slavery as a part of the natural and necessary hierarchy of the world and universe.
