Slavery during the 17th century worked more like indentured servitude. The first blacks to come to the Americas were indentured servants. They worked off the debt of their passage and were given land following their servitude. The whole system of indentured servitude fell away after land resources became limited. Blacks were allowed to purchase their freedom, buy land, even some having their own slaves. As the colonies entered into the 18th century, the black population was increasing as slave labor became more important to the plantations. Increasing numbers coupled with slave revolts led to the creation of slave laws in many of the colonies. These laws made slavery lifelong and a status associated with birth to a slave mother. Though slavery was becoming less common in the British Empire, when the US became independent, slavery became a part of the new country's economy and social structure.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Challenges of living in Hoovervilles - The woman has no running water. The woman has to complete chores like washing and cooking without having access to a kitchen.

Hoovervilles were not pleasant places. The shacks were small, poorly constructed, and lacked bathrooms. They weren't very warm in the winter and didn't always keep the rain out. The towns' sanitary conditions were deplorable, and many residents lacked access to safe drinking water. A "Hooverville" was a slum areas town built by the poors in the USA during the Great Depression. They have all been named after Herbert Hoover, the President of the United States at the time of the Great Depression and widely blamed for its onset. Charles Michelson coined the phrase.
