There are several reasons as to why the white American colonists created a slave labor system, some of which are:

- They created enormous plantations of cash crops. This meant that lot of labor was needed and the white colonists were not in high enough number, nor were they willing to engage in such a high intensity labor. The best solution for them were the slaves.

- Initially the white colonists planned on using the Native Americans as labor force. This didn't went as planned as the majority of the Native Americans died out because of diseases they brought from Europe, as well as conflicts and displacements.

- The slaves were relatively cheap and abundant, as well as easy to get. Once they were bought they were the cheapest and most efficient possible work force, as they were not paid, only provided with shelter and food, and the owners had total control over theme, thus often forcing them to work throughout all of the day.

What did thurgood marshall (who would later become a supreme court justice) mean when he said "90 odd years is pretty gradual?"?

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

In this quote, Thurgood Marshall is talking about the time between the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation (which was supposed to free slaves in the Confederacy) to the Brown vs. Board case which ruled that "separate but equal" is unconstitutional.

The reason he brings up these two events is because it shows how little progress American society has changed in these 90 years. Even though African-Americans were supposed to be free citizens after the Emancipation Proclamation, they were still treated as second class citizens in the US. They were constantly targets of voter discrimination, violence, and prejudice.

Describe how the company colony governments and proprietor colony governments were set up, and give colony examples of each.

Company colonies (aka charter colonies) were specifically governed by a trade company authorized by the king. These had more independence in their government.

Proprietary colonies were appointed by the King to a proprietor to govern. These were responsible to the King.
