Question

3.4. describe the creation of race-based slavery during the seventeenth century and its impact on the social and economic development of colonial america.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Africans were considered "heathens" whose supposed inferiority entitled white Americans to use them for slaves. Diverse Africans brought skills from Africa to build America's economy. The use of African slaves was concentrated in the South, where landowners used them to produce lucrative staple crops, such as tobacco, rice, and indigo, but slaves lived in cities, too, especially New York. As the population of slaves increased, race relations grew more tense, and slave codes were created to regulate the movement and activities of enslaved people. Sporadic slave uprisings, such as the Stono Rebellion, occurred in both the North and South.
