Assignment:

Compose a journal entry based on the information from the textbook readings and lecture videos. You will analyze the shift of using indentured servants for labor in the colonies to the exclusive use of enslaved laborers. Should address the following questions:

-What aspects of indentured servitude encouraged the growth of slavery?

-How and why did the institution of slavery begin and develop in colonial America?

-How did laws and statutes evolve with regard to the treatment of enslaved people in the colonies, and how did they alter the demographic definition of who would be subject to slavery?

-Do you believe that the changing laws and statutes set the stage for later rebellions by enslaved people, and if so, how?

Be sure to include examples from the readings or videos that back up your points. You will be graded based on whether you meet the length requirement, thoroughness of answers (do you explain and provide examples to back up your points), and basic grammatical accuracy.
