Indentured Servitude vs. Slavery

The First Arrivals 1619 in Jamestown 20 Africans brought by the Dutch and traded to the English English used them as workers on tobacco plantations. Slaves were generally cheap compared to Indentured Servants. Slaves were property for their entire lives, unless released by their owners (which was rare) By 1660, slavery as we know it was established in Virginia

Where did they come from? Western Africa 3 influential kingdoms = Songhai, Benin, and Congo Future slaves taken by the Portuguese from here Commonalities of West African culture Small villages Respect family and tradition Political leaders get their authority from religion (Islam) Everyone owns the land Trade

Where did the captured Africans end up?

Indentured Servants

The Original Workers Men, women, and sometimes children from Great Britain Sign a contract tying you to your master for 4-7 years, no marriage and no bearing children Servant got: passage from England, food, clothing, shelter, (salary?) Master: property, could sell or transfer the rights of your servant

Indentured Servants If caught trying to escape, they were given a longer length of servitude Permission from masters was required to leave colony, work for someone else or keep money for personal use Approximately ½ of the European population that came to the colonies started as indentures, up to 90% of population that settled in Chesapeake area (Virginia) Men= bricklayer, joiner, plasterer, cook, clerk, gardener, coachman, butcher, blacksmith, and musician Women= performed domestic chores like laundry, sewing, and housekeeping

Convicts Used as a labor force as well Ran away more frequently and not as trusted as indentured servants Largely male, young, poor and unskilled Length of servitude was longer than indentured usually Possibly 1/4th of British immigrants to the 13 Colonies were convicts
