Summary: Black Life In Colonial New England

Decent Essays
Black life in colonial New England was that black people were not seen as being slaves. Instead, in the 1620s and 1630s, did not rely on the labor of enslaved African to assist with the profit making. There was minimum need for enslaved workers since majority of the New England region was cold, and there was a slow growth rate of crops. Yet, there were still a small number of slaves getting imported into the New England colonies. Africans who were enslaved managed to have some form of freedom. Young people, in particular were better at doing work rather than people of an older age. “Young Africans were in a better position to learn English, achieve a measure of acculturation, and master domestic tasks and other new skills than the adult field

    New England was less ethnically mixed than its southern neighbors because of the difficult landscape. European immigrants were not attracted in great numbers to a site where the soil was stony. It was rare for an African slave to live long enough to be worth the sizeable financial investment. The cost of a slave was roughly double that of an indentured servant. The Southern colonies had more access to fertile grounds that the New England terrain lacked.…

    The New England colonies did not rely on slave labor to sustain their economies, in which only a small percentage of enslaved Africans resided here. On the contrary, in Virginia and South Carolina, slave labor was an established activity. New England's cold climate and short growing season did not require a need for enslaved workers. Though the slave population grew, New England was not content in harming the enslaved Africans or forcing them to work. " Enslaved Africans were permitted to legally marry, were entitled to trial by jury....and were welcome to join New England churches" (White, 68).…

    The pure logistics of maintaining a cash crop style of economy required a labor force that had never been known anywhere north of Maryland. Although there was both slavery and indentured servitude north of Maryland at that time, it was nowhere near the prevalence as it was in the Southern colonies. For this simple reason, African slaves were sent to the southern colonies in vast numbers, and this practice would continue for many decades to come. Slavery and indentured servitude became the backbone of how the economy of the Southern colonies prospered.…

    In some cases, few slaves even became plantation owners themselves, employing indentured and convict labor, white as well as black. On the plantation, both black and white laborers were exploited, looked down upon, and rewarded and punished all equally. It was in the later half of the 1600's, there were no laws in the northern colonies that recognized black and white laborers. Those who owned black and white laborers saw no basic differences between each other as human beings. Their obvious differences in skin color and physical features, culture, and language did not matter to the slave owner as long as their property worked.…

    Only in the past two decades or so has slavery in New England become more of a focal point for historians. The average person who does not study history, thinks it was only an issue in the Southern United States. Slavery was written out of history in New England for a reason according to Joanne Pope Melish. Melish explains the process of emancipation in Disowning Slavery: Gradual Emancipation and “Race” in New England, 1780-1860. Joanne Melish argues that the institution of slavery was central to many New Englanders, once gradual emancipation occurred, a new social order emerged and only offered liberty for whites.…

    The New England colonies held opposite views on slavery than in the Southern colonies. Unlike in the south, there were a relatively low number of slaves living in the New England colonies. This was not due to antislavery laws, but instead, economic, social, and geographical conditions. The New England colonies were more focused on industry and manufacturing and did not have the right soil or climate to farm cotton which was the primary use of slave labor at the time. Instead, some New England colonists found other uses for slaves.…

    Black Americans were the only racial or ethnic group brought to America against their will. Africans came to be captured and sent to the Western Hemisphere as slaves (Sowell 184). They were submitted to forced labor and had no human rights. They were the property of their masters, an object that could be bought, sold, given or mortgaged according to their masters will (Maameri 125).Colonial America depended on agriculture and the near- decimation of the native Indians by warfare and diseases created a labor shortage. In the English colonies, labor was initially provided by indentured servants ,poor whites or convicts.…

    As the power in New Amsterdam changed, the development of slavery evolved as well. When the West India Company first controlled New Amsterdam, or the Dutch, the members of the company did not a have clear idea how to use slaves, as well as how to obtain them. It was not until the end of their reign over New Amsterdam, did the West India Company start to use their slaves efficiently. Once the English took over New Amsterdam, they wisely put their slaves to good use, and found effective ways to trade for them. In the article, “Burghers and Blacks: The Evolution of a Slave Society at New Amsterdam”, written by Joyce D. Goodfriend, writes about how that once the English took control over New Amsterdam from the Dutch, they received all the praise…

    Continued westward expansion throughout the colonization of America was a necessary growth in order to deal with many increasing tensions and population densities. At the time of the Royal Proclamation line in 1793, Americans had already begun traveling and settling in new areas past the Appalachian mountain range. Farmers, squatter, and religious reformers were some of the masses of people who made the trip out west in hopes of finding land to provide for their kids. Relief from the rule of the political leaders was a common goal for the western travelers as the power of the court thinkers grew in the eastern cities. Slave trade followed into the south-west, allowing plantations to grow rapidly into busy places to export goods, such as cotton.…

    Minority Groups in America Introduction The 20th century has witnessed the transformation of the United States from a dominating white population to society rich with an array of religious, racial and ethnic minority groups. Historically, the country has been dominated by a settler group of ethically and religiously diverse whites. Traced back to the first settlements from the 1600s to the 19th century, most minority groups in the United States were as result of forced immigration to work in the American firms (Du Bois, 2014). The heaviest burdens of the minority groups have historically fallen upon the Africans, Native Americans and Women.…

    The Inhumane Use of African Americans During the Colonial Era In the early 1600’s the inhumane transporting and enslaving of African Americans in the American colonies began. Although the English settlers required agricultural labor during the Colonial Era, their use of the African American slaves was unjust. The English did not provide sufficient housing, clothing, or nutrition for the African American slaves, nor did the settlers have any regards for their families. The English also overworked the slaves and gave them brutal and inhumane punishments.…

    In the 1600’s there was more than just one race being enslaved to work under the control of plantation owners. According to Takaki, “In 1650 Africans constituted only 300 of Virginia’s 15,000 inhabitants, or 2%” (52). There was a wide range of English slaves as they began harboring their families over to Virginia to work as well. Although white salves outnumbered the black slaves and were in fact slaves just like the blacks were, they still would classify the black slaves as ruthless animals. English travelers would describe black people as, “‘Africans are beastly living, without a god, law, religion.’…
