Slavery in the colonies

Week 4: Lecture 2
Objective

● The Middle Passage was the voyage of enslaved people from the
west coast of Africa to the Americas, usually via the Caribbean.
Enslaved people endured traumatic conditions on slavers’ ships,
including cramped quarters, meager rations and physical and
sexual assault.
Slavery in the colonies
FOCUS

Every English colony practiced slavery,

building an empire-wide system of white
racial dominance and African oppression.
African slavery provided White colonists with a shared racial bond and identity.

● Slavery was more than a labor system; it also influenced

every aspect of colonial thought and culture.
● The uneven relationship it created gave White colonists an
exaggerated sense of their own status.
● English liberty gained greater meaning and coherence for
white people when they contrasted their status to that of
the unfree class of enslaved Black people in British
America.
Plantation system changes slavery and slave trade

- plantation production—tobacco in the Chesapeake in the

late seventeenth century and rice in the Lowcountry in the
early eighteenth century

- increased the level of violence, exploitation, and brutality

in these regions.
Financial gains

- Slaves worked harder, propelling their owners to new,

previously unimagined heights of wealth and power
- slave owners expanded their plantations and demanded more
and more slaves
- as slaves proved to be an extraordinarily valuable form of
labor.
- Not only were they workers, but they reproduced themselves,
adding to the owners’ wealth.

Chesapeake (largely Virginia and Maryland)

● By the 1730s, births to slave women outnumbered imports,

and the black population was increasing naturally.
● Although transatlantic slavers continued to deliver their
cargoes
● The proportion of Africans declined as the indigenous
African American population increased.
● By mid-century, the majority of enslaved men and women in
the Chesapeake had never seen Africa.
The Stono Rebellion
● It was the largest enslaved rebellion in the
Southern Colonies, with 25 colonists and 35 to 50
Africans killed
● The uprising was led by native Africans who
were likely from the Central African
Kingdom of Kongo
● Over the next two years, slave uprisings occurred
independently in Georgia and South Carolina
● Planters decided to develop a slave population
who were native-born, believing the workers
were more content if they grew up enslaved
