Taking Hold

In 1656 the word slave began appearing in the records of the Virginia colonies. By 1658 ten tons of tobacco had been shipped to England thru Jamestown. Jamestown was fast becomming Boomtown. Because of all the cotton and tobacco that flowed thru her ports to England. The people of jamestown were becomming quite rich. Slavery by 1660 had taken hold in virginia and in maryland. Because of slave labor a agricultural economy prospered  really well. A  problem for the colonies were the American Indian, who were constantly attacking the colonies The colonies captured and enslaved a large number of these indian, and shipped them to the carolinas, to work in the cotton and tobacco fields. But the indians made poor slaves, because they would runaway, leaving there women and childern behind. The white slaver  put all slaves togeather in the slave quarters. With the black slave male outnumbering  black and indian females 3-1 soon you had race mixing between the black slave male and the indian female. The white slaver had been mixing with the black slave women ever since she came to America. Now in the carolinas  you start to see a new kind of slave bred of three races. As we move thru the 17 century, we start to see the foundation of the american people emerge. As we move from 1502-1865 we wll see that race mixing, is what ties all americans togeather.
