Tension over issues of land, labor, religion Early colonial history must take into account the relationships between European colonizers and the Native People, and the relationships between Native people. Early years of the slave trade: started with Indians, moved to indentured servants, and then the transatlantic slave trade Ties between labor, culture, “race”
