Introduction

Slavery will hone your abilities to search and compile a response to the prompts provided below by describing the dynamics of slavery. Although slavery had existed among African peoples prior to the European slave trade, the status of slaves in Africa was much different than that of slaves as a result of the trade.

The condition of the latter took a different path from the start. The transition of this status in the colonies is illustrated through primary sources as seen with several Acts of the Virginia Commonwealth.

Research suggests that British North America saw the economic benefit of slavery and adopted "the Peculiar Institution" with slavery at the heart of their success. However, different viewpoints on slavery would soon lead to one of the greatest conflicts on American soil - the American Civil War.
