Why did slavery start in the colonies?

History
1 answer:
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.

Madison argued in favor of a larger republic

According to his paper "Federalist 10", Madison argued that a representative body that is too small be insufficient to represent all of the interests and opinions of the nation. The larger the representative body, the better since it allows more opinions and prevents tyranny.
