Mayflower Compact

• Grows after 1620…full steam ahead by late 1600s– 1st “slaves” come 1619

• but indentured servants still used until 1670s

• 1700 – flow of slaves to colonies explodes…why?

a. Colonies…– Slave Codes/Laws made in all

of them– new laws created caste

system…• white servants treated different

than blacks• white servants freed but not

blacks– assumption spread that blacks

would stay as servants– Black rights limited by law now

b. England…

• Middle & North Colonies– Fewest slaves– Most contact with

whites– More assimilated…– Less field work– Most freedom to

choose professions

• MD & VA• More Blacks…

– But still a small % of pop• Slaves did what work?

– Tobacco fields– Other jobs too…

• Black & White relations– More regular contact

between the two– More integration of African

& American culture for blacks

• SC & GA• Rice…look like fun?

– One of the reasons why slavery became more popular…white IS’s didn’t like the harder work

• Biggest #’s• Plantations w/100+

slaves & few whites =– Blacks kept culture

(language & traditions)– Worst Conditions

• Then what changes? OQ revisited

• White racism grew to make the system stronger…make sense?– Blacks = inferior– Capable of only

manual labor• Whites felt they were

doing a favor…– Civilizing blacks…like

who else?• Incentive for slaves to

have children– Financial gain for
