INDENTURED SERVANT vs. SLAVERY What factors led to the introduction of African slavery replacing indentured servitude as the labor force in the American Colonies?

Bacon’s Rebellion (1676 - 1677) Nathaniel Bacon represents former indentured servants. Governor William Berkeley of Jamestown

BACON'S REBELLION Involved former indentured servants Not accepted in Jamestown Disenfranchised and unable to receive their land Gov. Berkeley would not defend settlements from Indian attacks African slaves join them to win their freedom

Nathaniel Bacon acts as the representative for rebels BACON'S REBELLION Nathaniel Bacon acts as the representative for rebels Gov. Berkeley refused to meet their conditions and erupts into a civil war. Bacon dies, Gov. Berkeley puts down rebellion and several rebels are hung Consequence of Bacon’s Rebellion Plantation owners gradually replaced indentured servants with African slaves because it was seen as a better investment in the long term than indentured servitude.

Bacon leaves a Bad Taste The planters realized that indentured servants and African slaves would be a serious challenge to their power if they were allowed to unite again. The planters made peace with the former indentured servants by: Going after the Native Americans Refocusing the poor farmers’ hatred on African slaves that were competing with them for jobs.

SLAVE CODES AND LAWS Fear of Slave Revolts would lead plantation owners to develop a series of slave laws/codes which restricted the movement of the slaves. Slaves were not taught to read or write Restricted to the plantation Slaves could not congregate after dark Slaves could not possess any type of firearm A larger slave population than white in some states Slave owners wanted to keep their slaves ignorant of the outside world because learning about life beyond the plantation could lead to more slave revolts and wanting to escape. Slave Laws
