Answer:The 1688 Germantown Quaker Petition Against Slavery was the first protest against African-American slavery made by a religious body in the English colonies. Francis Daniel Pastorius authored the petition; he and three other Quakers living in Germantown, Pennsylvania (now part of Philadelphia) signed it on behalf of the Germantown Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends. Clearly a highly controversial document, Friends forwarded it up the hierarchical chain of their administrative structure--monthly, quarterly, and yearly meetings--without either approving or rejecting it. The petition effectively disappeared for 150 years into Philadelphia Yearly Meeting's capacious archives; but upon rediscovery in 1844 by Philadelphia antiquarian Nathan Kite, latter-day abolitionists published it in 1844 in The Friend

1. Slave labor was needed for the colonies because there wasn't enough people living inside the south too help farm. Also it was cheaper to get slaves from africa (which is forced to work for their owner for life most of the time) instead of hiring a bunch of Southern farm hands to help them.
2. Cash crops were grown to make BIG money, however, you can't really eat it ( i mean you can try eating tobacco (idk if it can be eaten) or cotton (definetely not). Substinence crop is for eating. Even though you don't make much money selling them, you are able too feed your family (and sell the extras for profits)
3. An artisan slave gets a lot more freedom and are usually treated better than a normal slave because they are skillful in needed stuff. An example of an artisan slave can be found in the book "Stealing South" in which Mr. Ezekiel, the artisan slave 'knows a lot of things' and that there isn't a lot of things that he doesn't know about that goes around that area. He also states that because of his knowledge, he was given greater freedom than most slaves.

hope this helps :D
