Question 1:
What was the essential cause of the introduction of African slavery into North
America?
The Americans knew that having labor workers was crucial to being a successful colony.
Due to the fact
that they needed constantly working people to produce enough crops to make a profit. The Americans
tried to solve this problem of the lack of workers but fell short when they concluded that they did not
have access to enough regularly working African laborers. After this the resorted to Native American
laborers, their own indentured servants who they did not want to enslave because they were their own
people, but they were willing to coerce their own people.
Later down the line, the American realized that their indentured slave supply was dwindling, and they
saw those African laborers where very productive when it came to making a profit. They pushed the
African slave trade and wanted to establish a joint slave trade company, they wanted laws and rules that
authorized to right to enslave Africans in America. This was not accidental, this was purposeful with the
intent to maximize profit from crop, seeing how productive Africans were when working for the
Americans.
Question 2:
What were the defining characteristics of the original English colonists' relations
with the Indians?
The main defining characteristics of the original English colonists’ relations with the Indians, is
trade. The English wanted to persuade their own government to refrain from any military
expedition that would disrupt trade that was already going on with the Indians. This was a pivotal
point in trading among the English traders and the Indian traders, that they wanted nothing to
disrupt what they were doing amongst the trading.
The shared spirituality between the English colonists and the Indians were also a defining
characteristic between their relationship. Having shared beliefs was also a similarity between the
two groups that allowed them to come together as one and begin a relationship. Although this did
not last long because soon after the First Indian war had broken out.
