Yes, slavery became established in the southern colonies in the 1600s, with Virginia seeing the first Africans arriving as slaves in 1619. The institution of slavery grew throughout the century as labor demands increased in the region.
Additional purchases of Africans were few after 1619 because initially, many Africans were brought over as indentured servants rather than slaves. Later, the introduction of laws and customs enforcing slavery made it easier for settlers to keep enslaved people for life, reducing the need for new purchases. Additionally, continual importation of Africans was seen as expensive and the local slave population was able to reproduce and provide a sustainable labor force.
Yes, slavery existed in 1630. In the early 17th century, slavery was prevalent in European colonies, including those in the Americas. Africans were forcibly brought to the Americas to work on plantations and in households as enslaved people.
African slaves resisted slavery in various ways, including through rebellion, escape, feigning illness or incompetence, breaking tools or working slowly, practicing their culture and religion in secret, and forming communities for support and mutual assistance. These acts of resistance demonstrated their resilience and determination to maintain their humanity and fight against their dehumanizing treatment.
