Why did slavery start in the colonies?

History

olga nikolaevna [1]3 years ago
5 0
The colonists required labor for agriculture and other tasks so they brought in slaves, which was the cheapest form of labor available.

The slaves were brought on boats from Africa, usually in terrible conditions which led to many of them dying during the journey before even making it to America.

The slaves in the South worked mainly on the farms and plantations as the South had a lot of cultivatable land and the region's economy depended on it. Meanwhile, slaves in the New England and Middle regions were usually just house servants, cleaning, cooking and carrying out other tasks around their owner's house.

The economy of the South depended heavily on the cultivation of crops, especially cotton. The introduction of slaves allowed land owners to cultivate larger lands and gain more profit since the labor they had required little to no input.

What specific changes did the american citizens experience because of the great <br> depression
kvasek [131]
Loss of jobs--many Americans in particular men lost their jobs and then were unable to provide for their families. Women were pushed out of jobs to give jobs to men. 
Loss of homes and/or land--many Americans lost their homes and land because they couldn't pay the bank for their loans. This left many homeless living in shanty towns. 
Loss of trust for the economy--Many Americans lost trust in the financial system. Banks fell apart and the stock market was a mess. It was hard to put any money back into that system but the system only works with money circulating in it. It took massive reform to reset the system and get it moving again.
