1.Page 11 notes,”Jeffersons plan for freeing his own slaves included an interim educational period in which they would have been half-taught, half-compelled to support themselves on rented land; for without guidance and preparation for self support, he believed, slaves could not be expected to become fit members of a republican society “. When I first red this a few questions popped up, why didn 't this plan ever follow through. I also would 've like to ask Jefferson what is his definition of fit and what requirements would have made a slave become a “fit” member of a republican society. Next on page 21, “We might go farther and say that it came without a decision. It came automatically as Virginians bought the cheapest labor they could get”. Everything you make is a decision. Whether you got up for school this morning or not was a decision you had to make. Buying labor is a decision Virginians had to make. Like modern day, most people buy the cheaper version of something. Slavering Negros didn 't not come automatically or without decision. Lastly, “ He attacked the Christian church not …show more content…

4. One law that intrigued me was the first law that appeared on the Virgina. An Act Concerning Servants and Slaves. Servants, who are christian and nineteen years of age, brought into the country without a contract must serve for a mandatory five years. Those servants who do not exceed the age of nineteen serve till they are twenty-four years of age. This shows that religion went hand and hand with indentured servitude. It indirectly tells the readers that potential indentured servitude owners were mostly likely christian. This helps reveal to the authors the main goal of the system, to convert more people to christianity. The indentured servitude system was well thought out. Not only were owners paying their servants very little to do their work for them, but they were continuously building the christian faith “army”. Which would eventually result in more people on their

    Thus, the South desired their lifestyle to be left alone, and if refused, the Constitution would be violated in one portion, which provoked the mentality to succeed from the union (Doc G). While the South argued for the right to own slaves since the idea of property is linked to the constitution, the North used the Constitution to prove that slavery was unconstitutional. Proven through the strict interpretation of the Constitution,as the word ‘slaves’ and ‘slavery’ are not written anywhere within the Constitution.

  • American Slavery Essay

    221 Words  | 1 Pages

    American Slavery The book “American Slavery, 1619-1877” is a survey of American slavery and a probe into the life of those involved in the “peculiar institution” of slavery. It begins with the origin of slavery in the sixteen hundreds, with the importation of slaves from Africa where their free labor was used to establish the agricultural base of the new world. From this point, the author progresses to follow the growth of slavery, not just by quoting statistics, but by providing accounts of conditions of the lives and times of slaves as well as slave owners. The author does not just provide tales of hardship and a damning opinion of slavery, but rather focuses on the facts of daily living of slaves.

    The act was used to codify slaves as personal chattels (similar to the ownership of domesticated animals), whereas prior to the act’s ratification, slaves were considered freehold property (only required to provide services) (Smith, 20). The true significance of these passages written in the 1740 Negro Act was how a slave could be treated, punished, and essentially killed for any disobedience or disrespectful action. The act further defined the penalties for a slave carrying a gun or if they inflict any harm on a white person as a grievous crime (Smith, 23). The establishment of such an act also classified any insubordinate slave that has any intention of fleeing or running away to the sanctity of Spanish Florida as “evil and disobedient” (Smith, 26). Within the passages of this statute, the slightest veil of freedom that existed for slaves was terminated.

This, in itself, was inherently inhumane, but those who practiced slavery didn’t take into account the changes in society that the predominance of slavery would bring.

    Roughly two centuries later, the sacred confines of the Southern Baptist and Methodist churches served as the focus of aristocratic political debates. Quite a few Southern slave-masters reassured themselves that forcing slaves to attend weekend church services would, as Puritan missionaries had done with Native Americans in the seventeenth century, gradually and “benevolently” direct slaves’ attention to the sermons of “reliable white preacher[s].” Masters in favor of mandatory service attendance sought to routinely settle their slaves down in closely monitored churches so that slaves would internalize an overarching preoccupation with exalting the white Jesus Christ and apply the submissive values learned in church to chores and fieldwork.
