History 15 Point Q/A by Expert Hasqam2004

Slavery started in the colonies as a form of cheap hard labor for the newfound precious natural resources in the colonies such as cotton, tobacco, sugar, and coffee beans.

2. Slaves were brought not only from Western Africa, but also from the Caribbean on large ships. Slaves were packed together with little food and little space. Slaves had to travel on tight ships for months and because of this, many slaves died from starvation or disease. Some slaves just jumped off the boats to prevent themselves from being enslaved in order to maintain their self respect and dignity.

3. Slaves in the colonies did different jobs in the different regions in the colonies. Most slaves found their way to southern colonies in Virginia, South Carolina, and Texas. Slaves there picked cotton on large fields and picked sugar cane, and picked corn. Slaves in the middle colonies picked grains such as wheat. There weren’t many slaves in the Northern colonies, but the few that were in areas like Massachusetts, were usually housemaids cleaning and cooking.

4. Jobs were different in each region because the climate was different in each region. The Southern colonies tended to be more hot with blistering sunlight, so it makes sense that heat resistant resources such as cotton would be found there. Middle colonies had decent soil so wheat could be planted there. New England colonies had horrible soil, but lots of sea ports so shipbuilding and fishing was very popular there.

5. Slaves faced the world of difficulties. First off they weren’t paid anything at all, so finding food was difficult. Most slave owners provided their slaves bread and a little water, but most slaves had to scavenge the town for food to survive, and drink water from rivers. Slaves also were beaten often for not working hard enough or for fainting from extreme heat. Slaves were whipped to the point where their backs became scarred and bloody. Some slaves even died from beatings that were too hard. Lastly, slaves were often separated from their families. Men were often sold at higher prices all across the colonies so mothers and children were often separated from their husbands and fathers, which definitely affected children as many lost their fathers.

6. There weren’t many alternatives to slavery, because it was a very effective form of labor for the colonial economy. Slaves produced immeasurable amounts of natural resources which caused the Mother County, Britain, to become very wealthy.
An alternative in my eye would probably be an Industrial Revolution that happened 50-100 years earlier but that is very unlikely. Maybe slavery could not have been created in the colonies, but the repercussions of that would be that the life in the colonies of America would be completely different.



Anyway I hope you like my work. I spent a good 20 minutes on this so hopefully my 15 points were well earned. Please provide me Brainliest when you get the chance.
